Moments

.

The first time i see her, we are in kindergarten. I'm horsing around with puck while she's sitting under a tree reading. First thing I notice is her dress, it's a simple white sundress as her long blonde hair flows in the wind.

"Santana, you're it come on!" Puck runs up to me tapping my shoulder "I'll be right back" I say walking over. "Hi" is all I can get out, she looks up from her book and smiles "Hi" she says in such a small voice. "Whatcha reading?" She lifts her book to show me and I immediately sit down.

"I'm Santana by the way, that's my friend Noah but you can call him Puck" I point towards him while he shyly waves. "I'm Lucy" once our hands meet I know we'll be best friends forever.

The last time I see Lucy is in 8th grade. We're still best friends but it's been hard for her. She's in her and her families opinion a little too chunky. She is so smart but gets made fun of, Puck and I defend her the best we can but you can tell it's taking a toll on her. I simply keep telling her that she's perfect because she is and she always likes to tell me I'm crazy. I'm disappointed that I don't get to see her over that summer, something about being out of the country with her family. I'm sad but silver lining is we're going to the same high school.

.


Freshman year hits. I'm at my locker talking to Brittany, we're both in our cheer outfits. I see the doors behind Britt open and my focus immediately shifts. In walks my best friend only….Her normally long blonde hair is now shoulder length, she's had a nose job and she's lost weight. My eyes couldn't be wider and I'm sure my jaw couldn't hit the floor any harder. Suddenly her eyes meet mine and she smirks walking towards me.

"San" she says in her raspy voice as her left arm gently slides down my right. All I can do is watch her walk by, she turns around at her locker biting her lip winking at me. "Wow! Q is so HOT!" I hear Britt say next to me and all I can do is nod.

Summer of sophomore year about 2 months before Junior year starts my dad asks me what I want for my birthday. I decide a boob job, after a lot of coxing and convincing he agrees.

I don't tell anyone, not even Britt. I have a plan that involves wooing a certain blonde, I look in the mirror adjusting my uniform, tighten my pony and head to school. I make sure to make an entrance before noticing this year our lockers are right next to each other.

Thank you figgins!

Adding a little extra sway in my hips I open my locker "Whoa" is what I hear next to me, looking over I see Lucy's eyes glued to my chest "Luce my eyes are up here, you okay?" She licks her lips nodding "Perfect…..San I'm…..You….good I'm good" she nods before closing her locker and sprinting to class. "God damn Lopez I didn't think you could get hotter, how about I break those bad boys in for you" I roll my eyes closing my locker "Keep it in your pants puckasaurus you already know I don't play for your team, but like em?" I proudly twirl around as he nods "Hell yeah I do and by the looks of it so does everyone else" we look around and finally notice everyone staring "well, that's why I got em, now if you'll excuse me, I have a blonde to woo" I wink at him heading to first hour.

The moment I fall in love with Quinn is on our prom night, we've decided not to tell each other what the other is wearing. Puck says it's stupid because might not match but I think we know each other better than that so I'm not worried.

I'm outside her house waiting for Judy to let me in "Santana sweetly don't you look dapper!" She escorts me in "You look beautiful as always Judy, Russell it's great to see you " I hug them both as I sit on the couch. I decided on an all black suit with hunter green accents, my pocket square is hunter green and so are my heels. I straighten my jacket as I stand and turn. She comes walking down the stairs and my hand goes over my heart "Wow". She's wearing a long hunter green dress with a deep plunging neck line, her hair is pulled up and she has a tiny crown on her head. "Hi baby" she says kissing my cheek

"I love you" I whisper as our foreheads meet

"I love you too"

.


The moment I decided I was going to marry Quinn was senior year at Columbia. Quinn and I had been dating since junior year of high school. Tonight is graduation, as we stand in the mirror taking it all in she looks at me and says "I love you, Santana" I smile my biggest smile but what happens next…. "Marry me"

Her eyes go wide, she slowly turns in my arms as we stand there in our caps and gowns

"What?" She asks again

"Marry me Luce" I reach into my pocket and get down on one knee "Make me the happiest woman on earth Lucy Quinn Fabray, marry me"

Her eyes water as she cups my cheeks kissing me "I would love too Santana Marie Lopez"

.


The second time I fall in love with Quinn is our special day. As I stand at the end of the alter waiting for her. Puck on my left, Britt to the right I see her. Walking down the aisle in a form fitting white dress, her left arm holding her dress up, right arm linked with Russel's, my right hand goes over my heart. She is absolutely stunning and somehow so mine. I thank whatever is out there for making the gorgeous woman blind enough to marry me.

"I do" she says looking at me "Oh, I definitely do"

We lean in to kiss and it's at that moment I know, it's us forever, no matter what or who.

.


The moment I decide my wife is Wonder Woman is the day our daughter is born. She was in labor for almost 24 hours, our daughter was being stubborn and my wife was getting tired. I kissed her, rubbed her back and by hour 23 she was here. She was absolutely perfect just like her mom. "You are my hero Q" I tell her kissing her forehead as she holds our daughter. "I love you and our little family San" she says looking up at me with teary eyes. I spend the rest of the night holding our daughter while she rested.

"You are the luckiest baby girl, your mom and I love you so much" I tell our daughter over and over again kissing her little chubby hand.

I look over at my sleeping wife and smile. How I got so lucky is beyond me.

.

.

It's 16 years later and she still manages to take my breath away with a simple look or kiss. I don't think I'll ever believe this is my life.

"Hey ma, whatcha doin in here?"

"Oh just writing an epic love story, Beth where's your gorgeous mom?"

"She's bringing in groceries she wanted me to come get you"

I immediately close my laptop and go to help.

"Hey baby" I grab her cheeks and kiss her deeply, taking advantage of how full her hands are, she blushes and smiles "Hey love, you writing again?" She asks, I smile nodding

"I have a feeling this one is going to be something special" she nods, we talk about our days while making dinner.

.

We've been married 14 years, in a few months is our 15 year and I am going to pull out all the stops and remind this beautiful woman why she fell in love with me. I've recruited Rachel, Puck and Britt to help set it up.

.

"What show is this for, again babe?" She asks from her vanity "Rachel told me a thousand times but" I wave my hand rolling my eyes as she laughs "You never listen to her"

She's in a knee length black dress, black heels and her hair is curled and down. I'm in a short red dress with red heels, my hair is also curled and down. "How do I look?" We both look at the door noticing our 16 year old isn't a little girl anymore. Quinn's eyes begin to water as she nods "You look beautiful B" I say hugging Quinn.

"Mom don't cry" Beth says as she wraps Q in her arms. "Let's go blondies" I say escorting my loves to the car.

We are shown our table as they hand us champagne as Beth a sparkling cider

"I'll be right back okay?" I let Quinn know, she nods grabbing my cheeks kissing me.

.


"You ready for this San?" Rachel asks me

"As ready as I'll ever be Rach let's do this."

She walks out first and everyone cheers "Thank you all for coming out tonight, but I have to let you know there's an ulterior motive" everyone looks at each other whispering "Tonight is my best friends 15 year wedding anniversary" everyone claps as the spot light hits Quinn and she just smiles waving.

"Quinn, we met in high school and I was so lucky to see yours and Santana's love unfold. Thank you for showing me what real love is"

Rachel cheers her glass as she grabs her paper and motions for me to come on stage.

.

"Hi everyone, I'm Santana Lopez, that gorgeous woman's lucky ass wife" Everyone laughs as she rolls her eyes and Beth yells "Yeah you are!" Which makes everyone cheer and laugh again.

A screen drops behind me as the lights begin to dim. "Lucy, from day one you have captivated me, 15 years ago I vowed to love you all the days of my life, I still can't believe you chose me, I love you more than anything in this world."

As picture after picture glide across the screen, I look at her once again thanking whatever is out there that this gorgeous woman is mine, I blow a kiss at her as I begin my speech…

.

"The first time I see her, we are in kindergarten"
