Definitely inspired by Katy Perry's song!

"Kurt I need your help"
"Santana are you okay?"
"No. Meet me at the Starbucks off 5th"
Hanging up the phone I begin to speed walk, normally I wouldn't call him but I really need some advice and Rachel was stuck in rehearsals.
"I'm sorry what?" He asks taking a sip of his overly sweetened coffee
"You heard me porcelain"
"I did but I want to make sure I heard you correctly Santana Lopez, are you serious?"
I nod "As a heart attack, it's time and I'm ready"
He sits back staring at me "Wow" his eyes begin to water "I never thought I'd see the day Santana"
"Please don't cry, it's going to….." I put my head down as the tears begin to flow
Damn it
"Fuck, Look what she's done to me!" I laugh reaching for the napkins
Kurt shakes his head reaching over to grab my hand "Sweetie that's just love. Start from the beginning"
I nod taking a deep breath

Flashback
6 months ago
It's another super cold December morning as we lay in bed wrapped up in each other, the radio playing softly in the background as the sound of light rain taps against the window.
Its going to snow soon
She softly sighs into my neck as her hand traces invisible circles across my collarbone and chest. I look out the window. These past 3 years with her have been life changing sometimes it overwhelms me that someone so perfect could love someone like me. I turn to look at her, gently moving a piece of hair that has fallen over her eyes, she has a small smile on her perfect lips. I gently kiss her forehead and she sighs again.
"I'm gonna make us breakfast okay?"
She nods "Do we have bacon baby?"
I roll my eyes "Breakfast isn't just about….."
"Don't you dare finish that sentence Santana Lopez!"
She hits my chest as I laugh, noticing the glint in her eye I roll on top of her pinning her arms above her head. She begins to laugh and squirm but as always, I'm stronger "Damn Sue Sylvester!" She laughs.
I let go of her arms and pull her up to me staring into her gorgeous hazel eyes "I love you Lucy, so damn much I…" As the words get caught in my throat, she smiles but I put my hand up "I have to get this out" She leans back on her hands and tilts her head.
"These 3 years have been the best of my life, when we told everyone they laughed but we knew better and look at us. I just love you Q, more than I've ever loved anyone and I hope you know that, I hope I make you feel that everyday"
She wipes a tear from her eye shaking her head
"I love you too San, everything you just said times a million is what I feel. I love you so much" she grabs my hand placing it on her heart "It only beats for you" that of course makes me cry again as she gently pulls me down on top of her and we spend the rest of the afternoon making love, slowly, softly as whispered promises and declarations of love fall from our lips.
That's when I realized i wanted do this forever

Kurt starts laughing softly "Who knew, Santana Lopez was such a romantic!" I nod shrugging because it's so true
"Q has….I don't know changed me?"
He shakes his head reaching for my hand
"No, you've always been this sweet caring person you just never allowed yourself to show it, I'm glad it's Quinn"
Kurts eyes widen and it makes me laugh
"You already have it?"
I nod placing the small velvet box on the table
"I've had it for about 6 months I just needed a plan it has to be perfect Kurt"
"May I?" I he asks reaching for the box, I nod opening it
"OH MY GOD! FUCK THATS BIG!"
I look around laughing as everyone one us gasps
"Sorry folks, my best friend here is getting married carry on, nothing to see" he waves his hand making me laugh again
"You think she'll like it?"
"Sweetie if she doesn't I'll marry you"
"No thanks I'll stick with Q"
.
.
"Oh this is so exciting Santana! It will be the most beautiful wedding, there will be flowers and candles… oh and maybe it could take place in the evening with the sun…"
"Berry! Breathe, relax it hasn't happened yet"
"My apologies Santana I'm just so happy for you"
"Thank you Rachel"
"So what can we do for you?"
"Yeah Satan why is all the glee club back together"
I look around at Puck, Artie, Britt, Sam, Kurt, Rachel, Tina and Mike
"Because we started together and I figured we'd end together"
"That sounds like one of us is dying" Tina raises her hand
"Okay calm down people no one is dying, it seems Santana has written a song!"
"Wait. You called an emergency meeting because you wrote a new song?" Mike asks which earns him a slap on the shoulder from Tina.
Everyone looks at me as Kurt continues
"She needs our help proposing to Quinn"
"I have an idea how I want to do it, we're all going to be in Lima this weekend right?"
Everyone nods "Great. I've rented a venue and I've used the excuse it's a reunion for us, I expect everyone, looking at you Puckerman, to be dressed to the 9's!"
"Excuse you Lopez need I remind you that Puckzilla is always dressed to the fuckin 9's"
.

"San do we really have to go?" She asks throwing herself on the bed. I smile walking over before straddling her. "Yes my love we do, please finish packing" I kiss her lips slowly at first and when she leans up I smile backing away "I hate you sometimes, you and your perfect lips" She throws a pillow at me laughing as I head back to zip up my bag "Love you too Lucy Q!
Our flight is long but luckily there are no screaming kids this time. I thought I was going to toss a baby out the window last time.
I grab our bags as she wraps her arm around mine I kiss the top of her head.
"Mija you're here!" My mom wraps us in her arms
"Ma can I put the bags down please, Lucy packed our entire apartment!"
Quinn hits my shoulder as my mom laughs
"Be nice Santana!"
Laughing as we enter I run upstairs to put our bags in my old room
"So tell me everything" my mom says handing us cups of coffee. Quinn beings telling her how she is almost finished with another book and I look around, memories flash through my mind, happy memories. My parents have a great relationship and marriage, I hope Q and I will be a fraction of what they are.
"Sweetie" Quinn says touching my arm
"I'm sorry babe spaced out, what?"
She smiles kissing my shoulder "I asked if you were hungry"
I nod as my phone buzzes
Rachel : Need to speak with you please
I show Quinn my phone kissing my moms cheek as I head to her house, only I don't, I head to the space I've rented for the evening.
.
.
I walk in and am blown away "Wow"
There are candles followed by white and red roses everywhere with a few lillies mixed in
There are black table cloths, the centerpieces have small bouquets of random flowers the silverware is gold and there are caterers and staff everywhere
"Rach!" She beams running over hugging me
"It's perfect Rachel it looks like a fairytale!"
She smiles "It was nothing, you paid for I, I just arranged it"
I scan the room then back at Rachel who is looking around planning a million things inside that head of hers
"Rach" she looks at me "Would you be my maid of honor when Q says yes?"
Tears immediately fill her eyes as she jumps into my arms "Oh My Barbara, Santana yes! I will be your maid of honor!" I squeeze her closing my eyes
"Wait, I thought you were asking Quinn to marry you? If not is she fair game?" Puck smirks
"Try it Puckerman and I will ends you"
He throws his hands up laughing
"Okay!" Rachel says wiping her eyes "Everything is almost ready, you have to be here at 7, you will use the front entrance and the lights will be dim"
I nod looking around and man is it perfect
I look at Puck, "I wrote a song and before you say anything it's not some slow cheesy ass song!" He laughs throwing his hands up
"After I perform it, everyone should have a glass of champagne in their hands that's when I will take a knee and…..and" I sniff "I'll ask her to marry me" Rachel and Puck smile nodding as they hug me, I talk to the caterers and staff once more before heading back home.
.
.
A few hours later
"Everything okay babe?" Quinn wraps her arms around me "Everything is perfect"
I lean in to kiss her, we stand there for a moment
Every kiss with Q is like the first kiss, I can't help but get lost in it.
"Okay we get it" I laugh at that voice as we turn
"Hey Dad" he opens his arms and squeezes us
"I've missed my girls!" He kisses our heads
"We've missed you too Dad"
We visit with my parents a while longer before heading upstairs to get ready, I really wanted my outfit to be a surprise but we since have to get ready together…..
"You're awfully fancy for a reunion dinner babe"
I turn from my spot in the mirror placing my hand over my heart I exhale "Wow"
There stands my future wife in a tight long emerald green dress, her hair is pinned up her makeup is light and her heels are tall
"You look absolutely gorgeous Q"
She smiles kissing my cheek "Not as gorgeous as you, but a suit San? Not that I'm complaining you know seeing you in one makes me feel some kind of way"
I laugh looking back at myself one more time, normally I'd wear a super tight dress but tonight is special and I've learned Q likes me in a suit.
I had a black, 3 piece suit custom made, I paired it with my red heels and a red pocket square, my hair is down and curled.
"You ready babe?" I ask, she nods taking my hand as we head downstairs
"Wait. Are your parents gone?" She asks and I nod
"Yeah babe they probably went on a date or something"
I run my hands all over my body before making a mad dash back upstairs.
.
Fuck I almost forgot the ring! Imagine?
.
"What was that San you feeling okay?"
She asks as we make our way to the car
"I'm sorry babe forgot my glasses"
The fuck? What a lame ass fucking thing to say. Glasses what am I an 80 year old woman? Oh well she didn't question it so let's go with it.
When we pull up we see a lot more cars then I expected
Now I'm getting nervous
I turn the car off and look over at her, she's busy fixing her makeup in the mirror and I thank anyone and everyone out there once again that this gorgeous woman is mine.
"I love you" I breathe out making her smile as she closes the mirror
"And I love you" she winks as we make our way inside
I grab Quinn's hand as we open the doors
"Santana" Rachel says walking up to us "May I see you in the back please" I nod "Oh and Quinn could you please follow Kurt?" She looks confused but nods
"You look gorgeous Quinn" Kurt says taking her hand
.
.
"Rach I'm so fucking nervous I'm gonna throw up!"
"Santana! I know how much you paid for that suit you will do no such thing!"
"Lopez this song is legit! Im so excited to play it!" Puck says high fiving me "Let's get you a fiancé!"
I take a moment backstage as we all huddle in a small circle arms joined. I look around at the people who have helped shape me, gave me advice when I needed it and sometimes when I didn't and I couldn't be more proud.
"I have to say this now or I never will" they all laugh "I love each and every one of you so fucking much, thank you for this and everything you've done for me and Q over the years. I love this band of misfits and I wouldn't trade any of you for the world."
They all begin wiping their eyes nodding
"We love you Lopez" Puck finally says
"We always have" Britt adds
"Okay!" I say standing up wiping my eyes
"Enough of that shit, Let's go get me a hot blonde!"
"There she is!" Artie laughs "You had me worried for a minute there"
I roll my eyes as they head out on stage taking their places
I hear Rachel begin
.
.
.
"Good evening everyone! Thank you all for coming, tonight is very special indeed and to kick things off we have…..SANTANA LOPEZ!"
Everyone cheers and I hear the music start to play. I walk out waving, looking for Quinn and when I spot her in the crowd, I smile blowing a kiss at her making her blush as she blows one back. I grab it bringing it into my chest as I start
I wanna see you soon as I wipe the crust from my eyes
Til the day I die could you be the love of my life?
I'm a soldier for you baby, I earned all my stripes
Make-ups to the break-ups, times we could've gave up
We put that dirty work in so now we know it's worth it
Now we're celebrating
I'm so glad we made it this far
'Cause baby, all we got
Are champagne problems now
'Cause baby, all we got
Are champagne problems now
I wanna see you soon as I wipe the crust from my eyes
Til the day I die could you be the love of my life?
I'm a baller for you baby, I pay any price
Make-ups to the break-ups, times we could've gave up
We put the dirty work in, became a better version
Now we're celebrating
I'm so glad we made it this far
We both know the hardest part is over
Pull me closer, pour a drink
'Cause baby, all we got
Are champagne problems now
'Cause baby, all we got
Are champagne problems now
Yeah that's all we got
We both know the hardest part is over
Pull me closer, pour a drink
'Cause baby, all we got
Are champagne problems now
'Cause baby, all we got
Are champagne problems now
As the song ends everyone cheers, I take a bow walking off stage as a staff member hands me a glass of champagne. I call Quinn up to the front and now she's really confused and really blushing.
Show time
"Quinn, where to begin, I have loved you for a long as I can remember, yes we had a rocky start"
I look out to the audience as everyone laughs and cheers
"And yes no one believed we'd make it, but standing here in front of our families and friends I know we can make it through anything. There's no one else I'd rather spend my life with, I love you more than I've ever loved anyone, before you I was lost, lonely, rough around the edges and so vicious. But with you, love seems to burst out of me it's disgusting really" Everyone laughs again "You are my best friend, my everything and the absolute love of my life. I guess what I'm trying to say is" I drop to one knee as everyone stands cheering "Will you marry me Lucy Quinn Fabray?"
I look up at her and see the tears falling, her hands are over her mouth as she nods "I will absolutely marry you Santana!"
She pulls me up into her, her hands immediately grabbing my cheeks as my free one grips her waist,
our kiss deepens and the cheers seem to get louder.
We slowly separate and I grab her left hand gently slinging the ring on, she looks down and her eyes widen as she makes a small o with her mouth
"Santana it's beautiful!" She says inspecting the ring
"Well I should hope so, had to sell my soul for it"
I wrap my arms around her waist, she throws her head back laughing then hits my chest but leaves her hand there as my heart beats wildly against it
I bring our foreheads together as I whisper "It only beats for you" She smiles closing the distance once more "I love you" she whispers against my lips and I'm the happiest I've ever been knowing this beautiful gorgeous woman will be by my side forever.
