(Hey everyone, I hope everyone enjoyed the previous chapter. I think writing again has helped my soul because I felt a part of it die when Naya passed, but I am feeling more encouraged now. So, this chapter is also dedicated to Naya.)

Brittany and Santana were both crying hard and Brittany asked,

"Am I really enough for you, San?" Santana replied softly through her tears,

"Yes, you are, I need to protect you, to love you and to hold you. You are my world and I promise you that nothing will happen to you. Please marry me."

Brittany nodded,

"Yes, I will marry you, I love you!"

Santana gently took the drug kit away from Brittany, got up from her knees and gave it to Quinn. Then she took Brittany in her arms and held her, as both sobbed together while the gang looked on in awe. Lauren asked Mercedes and Quinn,

"I wonder who the fucktard was that left the drug kit in the cabinet to begin with?"

Mercedes replied,

"Who do you think? Tina!"

Quinn said,

"Well we need to get rid of this shit and let these two be."

Quinn closed the door behind her as she shooed everyone away while leaving Brittany and Santana were holding onto one another, crying. Santana kissed Brittany all over her face and wept,

"My baby Britt, I love you so fuckin' much! Nothing will ever change that!"

Brittany sighed,

"Since I am not so innocent anymore, I was scared you wouldn't be in love with me anymore."

Santana cried harder and she held Brittany's face in her hands and replied,

"I am always going to be in love with you, ok? You are my lifeline and my love. It is my fault how things turned out, but I will make it up to you. I promise you that."

Santana kissed Brittany hard on the lips, her tongue forcing its way in Brittany's mouth as Brittany groaned and held onto Santana tightly. After a few minutes of kissing, Brittany pulled away and rested her forehead against Santana's saying,

"We better take a shower, we smell horrible!"

Santana wiped the tears from her eyes and cheeks, grabbed Brittany's hand and said as they made it to the shower,

"Let's clean up."

As Brittany and Santana were showering together, Tina was awakening from her beating and struggled as she got up from the ditch. As soon as she got up, she got a sense of her bearings and began walking down the highway looking for a ride. As soon as a car approached Tina, she grabbed a knife from her jacket pocket and hissed to the driver,

"Get the fuck out of the car or I'll slice you from ear to ear, motherfucker!"

The driver got out of the car and Tina got in, speeding away and leaving the driving to fend for himself. As she was driving off Tina said out loud,

"Santana Lopez you have fucked with the wrong bitch!"

Back at the gang's house, Rachel was helping Quinn with disposing with the drugs and Rachel asked Quinn,

"Have you thought about marriage, babe?"

Quinn looked at Rachel and asked with a smile on her face,

"Not until now."

Rachel replied softly,

"Oh."

And she looked away from Quinn and started to walk away when Quinn stopped her by grabbing her hand and exclaimed,

"Hold on a minute, I never did say no!"

Rachel said as she got down on her knee and got a ring box out of her jacket pocket,

"Good because I am asking you to marry me."

Quinn gasped as Rachel opened the box and there was a diamond studded ring,

"Rachel."

Rachel explained,

"When I had to run errands on my own, this was part of what I was doing. I love you Quinn Fabray and I need to be part of your world whatever that may be. Will you be my wife, Quinnie?"

Quinn cried,

"I will marry you."

Rachel grinned as she slipped the ringer on Quinn's finger and got up from her knee and kissed Quinn as Quinn pulled her in her arms. After a few minutes of hugging and kissing, the newly engaged couple were interrupted by the sound of clapping and hollering. They book looked up and saw Brittany and Santana in their bathrobes and wet hair clapping and with grins on their faces and Mercedes and Lauren clapped as well. Brittany said happily,

"Let's see the ring!"

Quinn walked over to the porch and showed off the ring and Santana nodded her approval quipping,

"Very nice, Berry! You have very fantastic taste considering you are a dwarf!"

Rachel rolled her eyes and chuckled while Quinn snapped,

"Oh, and where's is your ring for Brittany you cheap fuck?"

Santana raised her hands and replied,

"Hey, hey hey! I was only kidding, and I am going to take Brittany ring shopping tomorrow!"

Brittany locked arms with Santana and said,

"I am so looking forward to it."

Santana kissed Brittany and replied,

"Anything for my baby."

Mercedes said as she headed back into the house,

"Let's go back and party!"

Everybody went back inside to party and the music was playing loud, everyone was smoking and drinking. Santana and Brittany were slow dancing in one another's arms and kissing one another slowly yet passionately. Quinn called out while also slow dancing with Rachel,

"Jesus fuckin' criminy, Lopez! Can't you two keep your lips off one another!"

Santana stopped kissing Brittany and replied,

"Weren't your lips on Rachel's earlier and not the ones on her face either?"

Quinn snickered,

"You are one sick bitch!"

Brittany kissed Santana and responded back,

"But she is my sick bitch!"

Everyone started laughing and continued to drink, dance and smoke when everyone heard a car approach and Santana said in a firm voice,

"Get the weapons out! Britt stand back!"

Brittany stood back with Rachel as the gang got their guns from the hall closet and approached the porch. Santana shouted,

"Who the fuck trespasses the Lima Height Panther's house?"

Tina got out of the car that she stole and slammed the door, replying,

"Hey Lopez, I have a score to settle with you!"

Quinn yelled,

"Fuck off Cohen-Chang!"

Tina answered back,

"Nobody was talking to you, blondie!"

Santana growled,

"Get off the property or be prepared to be blown away!"

Tina headed towards Santana and growled back,

"Fuck you!"

Before Santana and the gang could pull the triggers, Brittany came flying out of the window and off the porch, lunging at Tina and Santana screamed,

"Brittany!"

Brittany started to beat the crap out of Tina yelling,

"This is for taking advantage of me, for betraying San and for getting me hooked on drugs!"

Brittany continued to punch Tina when Tina took out her knife and was getting ready to stab Brittany when Santana aimed her gun at Tina and blasted her away, shattering her skull and the blood splattering all over Brittany. Santana ordered Mercedes and Lauren the removal of Tina and the car while Santana pulled Brittany away from the grizzly scene,

"Come on, baby, we are going to clean up."

Quinn held onto the trembling Rachel as the they followed Santana and Brittany into the house. Santana held Brittany close to her and said,

"Baby I don't ever want you to do that shit again, you scared me!"

Brittany replied,

"I know but I needed to protect us, and I got so fucking pissed!"

Santana led Brittany into the bathroom, closing the door behind her and stripped out of her robe,

"It is my job to protect you, you could've gotten killed."

Brittany stripped out of her robe as well and looked away from Santana,

"I know, San."

Santana gently placed her hands-on Brittany's face and kissed her softly,

"I need you here with me, baby. I can't be without you."

Rachel was sitting on the couch and holding her knees as she was trying to calm herself down after Tina's killing while Quinn was out in the front cleaning up the mess. After twenty minutes, Quinn back in and asked,

"Are you ok, sweetie?"

Rachel answered,

"Will be."

Quinn removed her blouse and threw it in the trash, then she went to Rachel and sat next to her, taking her in her arms,

"It had to happen, babe. Tina was way out of line and fuckin' stupid!"

Rachel leaned into Quinn and replied,

"I know but I am not used to this yet."

Quinn kissed Rachel and replied,

"You'll get immune to it eventually. But you don't have to marry me, you know."

Rachel cried,

"But I want to because I love you."

Quinn placed her lips on Rachel and said,

"I love you too."

After another twenty minutes of making out, Santana came out wearing sunglasses, blue jeans, black tank top, blue denim jacket, boots and holding Brittany's hand as Brittany was dressing a pink sweater, yellow scarf, blue jeans and uggs. Both got rid of their bloody robes and Santana said to Quinn,

"Fine time to be making out, Fabray!"

Quinn sighed as she pulled away from Rachel,

"Piss off Lopez, I clean everything up!"

Santana replied,

"Need to talk to you for a few, Quinn."

Santana kissed Brittany and said softly,

"Be back in a few, hun."

Brittany smiled,

"Ok."

Quinn got up and followed Santana out onto the porch and Brittany sat next to Rachel. Rachel asked,

"Why are you wearing a scarf, did Santana give you hickies again?"

Brittany replied as she blushed,

"She can't help herself and she really got scared when I went all badass. So, she ravaged me in the shower, and I loved it."

Rachel giggled,

"I bet she did!"

Brittany added,

"The thing is Santana is trying to be all badass, but she is so sensitive because after she ravaged me, she started crying and telling me how much she loves me and was so scared."

Rachel replied,

"Santana is a softie! But you are a badass at heart, Britt."

Brittany nodded,

"Yeah but don't tell Santana I told you anything!"

Santana and Quinn were in the front yard burning the bloody robes and Quinn asked,

"So why the hell are you wearing eyeglasses in cloudy weather?"

Santana snapped,

"Because I fuckin' want to!"

Quinn snapped back,

"Have you been crying?"

Santana sighed,

"So, I have, what about it?"

Quinn said,

"Nothing wrong with that, it proves you are human."

Santana explained,

"Brittany could've fuckin' died and it scared the shit out of me, Quinn! She is the love of my life and I can't be without her. If it makes me a fuckin' sap so be it!"

Quinn said,

"Don't worry about it, I know how scary this shit was. It scared Rachel and she still wants to marry me."

Santana snickered,

"I wonder what she's on?"

Quinn slapped Santana on the arm and laughed,

"Fuck you!"

Santana asked,

"Have you heard from Lau and 'Cedes yet?"

Quinn replied,

"Not yet, they are on their way to a remote location to burn the body and the car, it may take a while."

Santana nodded,

"As long as it's getting done and it the cops comes after us, we need to bail. Anyway, I got to admit that Brittany was hot being a bad ass!"

Quinn said,

"Glad Rachel isn't that way though."

Santana replied as she headed back inside the house,

"You don't know that."

Brittany was up in the treehouse, laying down and thinking about what has been going on when Santana climbed into the treehouse exclaiming,

"Baby are you ok, was looking for ya inside!"

Brittany replied,

"Yeah just exhausted by today and not sure where to go from here."

Santana laid down next to Brittany, kissing her shoulder and replying,

"Well we need to pick out that engagement ring for you. That should be something for you to look forward to."

Brittany turned to Santana and pulled Santana by her jacket collar to get her on top of Brittany and Brittany said softly,

"I am so looking forward to that, beautiful. You have no idea."

Santana kissed Brittany deeply on the lips and said,

"I know this doesn't sound romantic but let's get married in Vegas, perfect place for us to get away from here."

Brittany stroked Santana's face and Santana kissed Brittany's hand tenderly as Brittany said softly,

"I would go anywhere with you."
