Author's note: Hello everyone! I know it has been months but I'm back!

I hope you are all staying safe during COVID-19

Friday 13th of December

"San, baby, wake up." Brittany said softly as she shook Santana awake. Santana reluctantly opened her eyes.

"We're here!" Brittany told her excitedly. They had arrived in Lima, Ohio. They drove from New York and took turns, switching every couple of hours. Brittany had just done the last shift and Santana fell asleep. Brittany allowed her to nap, knowing she'd be in a better mood for the glee club reunion tomorrow.

Santana looked out the car window and saw that they were parked outside their childhood homes.

"If we're staying at my parent's, shall we go and visit yours first?" Brittany asked.

"Good plan." Santana agreed. She stretched her muscles and stepped out of the car. Brittany took her by the hand and lead them into the Lopez's house.

"Hi!" Brittany called as she opened the front door. She didn't even get a verbal response before being wrapped in a bone-crushing hug from Maribel Lopez. As soon as she was released, Santana was then held by her own mother.

"Hi Ma!" Santana laughed, still in her mother's arms.

"Sorry," Maribel said as she released her daughter and showed them into the dining room. "I've just missed you girls so much." She reasoned.

"I know Ma, we've missed you too." Santana responded.

"We really have." Brittany added.

A minute later Raphael entered the room and gave them both a tight hug. It wasn't as tight as Maribel's but it was clear he had missed them too.

"Tea?" Raphael asked as he boiled the kettle.

"Yes please" all three women responded. He poured them each a mug and brought them to the table where he sat next to his wife.

"Congratulations on the engagement, we're so happy for you!" Maribel said excitedly. Santana had called her parent's right away to tell them but they hadn't congratulated her in person yet.

"Let's see the ring." Raphael said, he held his daughter's hand and admired the rock on her finger.

"Gorgeous!" He said.

"Beautiful!" Maribel said. They both agreed the ring was perfect.

"Thank you. I spent a long time choosing it." Brittany answered.

"We got the invitation in the post this week. It's going to be a very short engagement!" Maribel teased.

"I know, I just can't wait any longer for Brittany to be my wife." Santana explained honestly. "February 1st can't come fast enough." Brittany just smiled with pure adoration for her future wife.

"How's work?" Raphael asked, changing the subject. Brittany and Santana shared a knowing look and a nod.

"I'm glad you asked, as you know Mercedes just had her debut tour. It did amazingly well and made lots of money for the company. I've given bonuses to all my employees but I wanted to share some of it with you two." Santana answered. "So we're sending you both away for a romantic weekend. You can pick the time of year and the destination, wherever you want to go."

"What? No. We can't accept that." Raphael said sternly.

"Yes, it's your money, you need to keep it." Maribel agreed.

"Exactly, it's my money so I get to choose how I spend it. I've chosen to spend it on you." Santana retorted.

"Brittany tell her she's crazy." Maribel suggested.

"Nope, I'm with San on this one. You both work so hard and deserve a trip. You've given Santana everything she ever needed and now she wants to repay just a tiny bit of what you have given her." Brittany said.

"Fine. We accept." Maribel said after having a telepathic conversation with her husband.

"Thank you very much, this is so kind." Raphael said. They all shared a soft smile. They continued to drink their tea.

"Are you sleeping here?" Raphael asked.

"No, we're staying at the Pierce's. Zoe wants to see us so we're hanging out with her tonight." Santana answered. "The glee reunion is tomorrow and Britt is spending the day with her family on Sunday so I hoped I could spend the day with you guys." She suggested.

"Sounds perfect." Raphael said with a loving smile. Maribel smiled too.

Santana glanced at the clock. "We need to go next door. I'll see you Sunday." She said to her parents.

"I'll be sure to come and say a proper goodbye before we leave." Brittany reassured them.

They hugged each other and said goodbye. They stepped outside, grabbed their bags from the trunk of the car and walked next door to the Pierce's home.

"Hello!" Brittany called out into her childhood home. She dropped her suitcase in the hallway and walked into the main area of the house, Santana following closely behind.

"Hi Britt!" Susan called out as she ran to her daughter and hugged her tightly.

"Britt! You're home!" David called as he hugged her too. Then both parents hugged Santana.

"YOU'RE HOME!" They heard a young voice shout. Then they heard light footsteps and saw Zoe Pierce run around the corner. She ran straight into Brittany's arms. After a long hug, she switched to Santana's arms.

"Hey kiddo!" Santana whispered softly into the young girl's hair.

"Hi Tana!" Zoe whispered back. She could now fully pronounce the Latina's name but the nickname from her youth stuck with her. She pulled out of the hug but continued to smile at her sister and her sister's fiancé.

"I'm not a kid anymore, you don't need to call me kiddo." Zoe explained.

"Tough luck kiddo, even when you're our age I'll still call you kiddo." Santana said with a teasing smile.

"Can we see the ring?" Susan asked. Santana presented her left hand to the family.

"Stunning!" Susan said.

"Impressive!" David said.

"Shiny!" Zoe added. They all laughed with the young girl.

"That smells amazing!" Santana complimented as the scent of dinner drifted past her nose.

"I cooked salmon. I remember how much you loved it when you were in high school." Susan said. "It should be ready now, let's eat." She walked Santana into the kitchen and they all sat down at the table.

David sat at the head of the table, Susan was next to him. Opposite her sat Brittany and Santana side by side. Next to Susan was Zoe. They tucked into their meal and Susan received many compliments on her cooking.

"It feels just like I'm 16 again!" Santana joked. They used to sit in the same seats eating the same meal, the only thing that had changed was their age.

"How's school Zoe?" Brittany asked.

"It's boring." She answered honestly.

"No it's not!" Susan scolded. Brittany and Santana sniggered at the little girl's attitude.

"I like some parts of it. I hate math but I like history."

"Britt hated math," Santana started.

"Still do." Brittany interrupted.

"She still does," Santana corrected. "But she worked hard and passed her class. That's what you've got to do too. We use math all the time, even if we don't like it."

"I guess." Zoe said nonchalantly as she continued to pick at the peas on her plate.

After dinner, Brittany cleared the dishes while Santana spoke to Zoe. She agreed to watch a film with her. Brittany and Santana took a seat on the couch while Zoe chose a film.

"We're going up to bed." David stated. "See you in the morning. I'll take your bags upstairs, Britt's room is all ready for you."

"Don't go to bed too late Zoe." Susan added.

"We'll make sure she doesn't." Santana assured Susan with a wink. The married couple left the room and went to bed.

"Move over." Zoe told Brittany. She sat on the couch in between the couple.

"Umm excuse me." Brittany teased her sister. "I wanted to sit next to San."

"I know what you two are like. You'll end up kissing and being gross." Zoe said bluntly.

"She's not wrong." Santana agreed, holding back her laughter.

After the film, the three girls went up to bed.

"Goodnight." Zoe said as she disappeared into her bedroom.

Santana opened the door to Brittany's room and allowed her memories to flood back. Her finger traced the floral wallpaper and the outline of her bed frame.

"I've got something to show you." Brittany said. She laid on the floor and reached under her bed. She pulled out a thick notebook and handed it to Santana.

"Britt." Santana said in awe as she traced the front of the scrapbook she received for their 1 year anniversary of meeting. It contained all the milestones and firsts in their relationships. She looked through and saw images of their first kiss, date and anniversary.

"We've got something to add." Brittany told her as she searched her suitcase and found a printed photo. It was a picture of them together, Santana was showing off her new engagement ring.

They taped it into the scrapbook and Brittany captioned it 'engagement'. She dated it and they smiled at the new edition.

They changed into their pyjamas and crawled into bed. Brittany laid on her back with her blonde hair sprawled across the pastel pink bed sheets. Santana rested her head on her chest and they fell asleep to the sound of each other's breath.

Saturday 14th of December

Santana woke up to soft kisses all over her face just like every morning. When she opened her eyes she received a shock to find herself in Brittany's childhood bedroom. When the memories of yesterday came back to her, her confusion diminished.

"I brought you coffee." Brittany whispered quietly. Santana sat up in bed and Brittany handed her a mug.

"Feels like we're 16 again." She reiterated as she took a sip of coffee.

"If we were 16 we'd be playing twister right now." Brittany giggled.

Santana put her mug on the nightstand and kissed Brittany hard. It took the blonde by surprise.

"Let's play twister then." Santana muttered seductively against her lips.

After a game of twister they stumbled downstairs to find Zoe laying the table and Susan and David cooking breakfast in the kitchen.

"Morning kiddo." Santana greeted as she helped distribute plates across the table.

"Good morning." Brittany greeted her parents as she carried dishes of eggs, bacon and toast out of the kitchen and onto the table.

They sat down together as a family and ate breakfast. They discussed their plans for the day. Brittany and Santana were going to McKinley for the glee club reunion. Susan was going out for lunch with her friends. Zoe was going shopping with her friends and David was staying home to watch the football game.

After breakfast was finished and they cleared the table, Brittany and Santana went upstairs to shower and get ready for the day.

Brittany wore blue jeans and a floral top. She wore black and white converse and allowed her hair to fall over her shoulders and down her back.

Santana wore black jeans, a grey zip up top and her black leather jacket. She wore black heels to give her a little extra height.

They said goodbye to the Pierce's and climbed into their car. They listened to Fleetwood Mac's rumours album as they drove to their old high school.

When they arrived at McKinley they parked in the same spot as they used to. Looking around the car park they could see Rachel's car among others that recognised from years ago.

Santana locked the car and they walked hand-in-hand into the school. They walked down the hallways they used to rule and for the first time, they felt nervous. Some members of the glee club they hadn't seen in years and didn't know what the expect.

Stopping outside the choir room they took a deep breath and entered. They took their usual seats at the back of the room and glanced around at their old friends. Quinn made eye contact with Santana and she felt comfortable seeing her best friend's face.

It felt good to be back and see their old friends. Santana wouldn't admit it aloud but she had missed them all. She was proud to have Brittany sitting next to her and show the glee club that they are more in love now than they have ever been.

"Hello!" Mr Schue said loudly as he walked into the choir room, drawing all the attention to him and his tight vest. Santana cringed slightly to see he still didn't understand fashion. Kurt also had a cringe expression on his face.

"I can't describe how much I've missed you all." Mr Schuester began. "Everyday I come into this room and sing with kids. Although I love them and their talent, no group will ever compare to you guys."

"Don't start rapping." Puck interrupted. The whole room laughed at his statement. The mood was getting emotional and nobody wanted to cry. They all appreciated Puck's interruption.

Rachel rolled her eyes ironically and addressed the teacher. "I heard your glee kids won nationals this year. I still read the show choir articles and I saw your name in them."

"That's right!" Mr Schue said enthusiastically. "I stopped trying to teach Spanish and Figgins made me a full time glee coach. I love every minute of it." The smile on his face was evidence of the passion he still had. "I'm still married to Emma and we have 3 wonderful children together. But enough about me, what are you all up to?" He asked.

Rachel spoke first (which surprised no one.) "I'm living in New York City with my dream job of playing Fanny Brice on Broadway. I'm also in a very loving relationship with Quinn." She enthused. She took Quinn's hand and smiled at her.

Quinn spoke next. "I'm living with Rach in New York. I work as a lawyer in a small firm." Everyone gave looks of approval. They all knew Quinn was smart and would do great in whatever field of work she chose.

"I own a garage in Cleveland." Finn said. "I'm still single but I'm ready to settle down."

"I'm also on Ohio." Artie added. "I work in tech development and I'm still in a relationship with Kitty." Kitty gave him a kiss on the cheek.

"I'm the cheerleading coach for our local school." Kitty explained. "We're on our way to winning nationals. Now that Sue has retired to look after her kid, we actually have a chance." The ex-cheerleaders of the room appreciated that joke.

Kurt spoke next. "I'm living in New York with Blaine. I own a fashion line and love every minute of it."

"I work on Broadway playing Tony in West Side Story." Blaine added.

"I'm also in New York." Mercedes said. "I live with Sam and just finished my debut tour as a solo artist."

"I get paid to test out new video games and give tech reviews." Sam added. "It's every kids dream job!"

Puck then spoke. "We live in New York too, I just opened my own bar and it's becoming a hot spot in the city. This is Becca, my girlfriend."

"Hello." Becca said with a wave and a smile. Everyone greeted her with their own 'hello'.

Sugar told them she was a social media influencer, living in Los Angeles.

Lauren Zizes was a national champion wrestler and constantly touring.

"I live in New York with Mike." Tina said. "I own an art store, selling up and coming artist's work."

"I work for a dance studio, teaching kids." Mike added.

"What about Brittany and Santana? You're the only ones who haven't spoken yet." Mr Schue asked.

"We live in New York." Brittany answered. "We're still together, recently engaged. I own a dance studio, where Mike teaches."

"I own a public relations company." Santana said simply. "I help Rach and 'Cedes sometimes."

"You've undersold yourself San." Mercedes said. "She's the one who put my whole tour together."

"And she got me my dream job." Rachel added.

Santana appreciated them both sticking up for her. She gave them each an appreciative smile.

"Wow!" Mr Schue said. "You all live such amazing lives. I'm proud of you guys. Now feel to socialise and chat with each other. Maybe we can hear some impromptu performances!" He hinted, hoping to hear how their talents had improved.

Everyone stood up and separated into small groups, talking to their old friends.

One group was Brittany, Finn, Sugar and Artie. They all immediately congratulated Brittany on her engagement to Santana.

"She always had a soft spot for you." Finn teased.

"She's always soft now. The other day a person walked into her and she apologised for being in the way!" Brittany told them. They all giggled.

"She's whipped." Sugar said blankly.

"I'll neither confirm nor deny." Brittany teased with a smirk. "What's a 'social media influencer' anyway?" She asked using air quotes.

"Basically I get paid for being a big personality." Sugar answered simply. The others laughed at her bluntness. "I post videos and pictures and all the sugar cookies love me!"

"Sugar cookies?" Finn asked, very confused.

"That's the name of my fans." Sugar replied.

"Very clever!" Artie complimented.

"Attention everyone," Mr Schue called out. The alumni took their seats.

Mercedes stood at the front of the room and addressed her audience. "Hi everyone, I want to perform my hit single which debuted in this room - 'Hell to the no'!"

The crowd cheered as they remembered the first ever time the song was performed. Brittany danced around Mercedes, using the choreography she invented for the tour.

After the performance, Santana spoke to Tina who congratulated her on the engagement.

"I knew you'd be the first to get married." Tina said.

"I'm sure you and Mike won't be far behind!" Santana added, knowing they had also been together for many years.

"I'm not kidding! Santana snores!" Santana heard in the distance. She recognised the voice as Brittany's immediately.

"Excuse me." She told Tina softly and marched over to Brittany who was in a group of 5 other people.

"Brittany what the hell?" She said angrily in front of the crowd. "Don't tell everyone I snore, that's private information."

"Sorry San but I can't take you seriously." Finn interrupted with a laugh. "You're so small but have so much anger." This aggravated the small brunette even more.

Brittany saw Santana's expression and grabbed her attention. "He's only kidding. Calm down Sanny." She rubbed the brunette's crossed arms to calm her. They took a step away from the crowd to talk in private.

"Why did you tell them that?" Santana asked.

"It's okay, they're our childhood friends. They've all caught us practically having sex in the janitors closet, that's way more embarrassing." Brittany reassured her. "Plus I think it's cute when you snore." She added, placing a kiss on her nose.

Brittany returned to the group and Santana walked away, feeling much calmer. She found Artie alone and started a conversation with him.

After about half an hour Brittany left the group to find her fiancé. She glanced around the room and couldn't see her. Just as she was about to search for her, Mr Schue called everyone's attention again.

"Take a seat." He told the class. Brittany sat alone at the back as Santana wasn't there.

"We have another performance, this time from Artie and Santana." He introduced. Brittany understood Santana's disappearance.

Artie and Santana often did duets together. They specifically loved to do a Michael Jackson song. Now, all these years later, they sung 'Baby Be Mine' by the same artist.

Santana dedicated the number to Brittany and they definitely did the classic song justice.

After the performance the glee club members continued to socialise. They had pizza for lunch (provided by Mr Schue) and realised how much they had all missed each other. They agreed to keep in touch and have another reunion soon.

At 4PM they all had to go home. Mr Schue gave a farewell speech about how proud he was of them all. Then they said their goodbyes and left the choir room.

Brittany and Santana were the last people the exit the room.

"That was nice." Brittany said softly. "I've missed them all."

"I have too." Santana agreed. "But don't tell anyone I said that." She added quickly.

"I won't." Brittany reassured her with a smile.

They slowly walked across the car park.

"Did you realise our pinkies were linked this whole time?" Santana asked as she looked down at their hands.

"No. Did you?" Brittany replied.

"No. I guess it was an automatic response to walking out of the choir room."

"I guess so." Brittany agreed.

Santana held the passenger car door open for the blonde. Then she sat in the driver's seat.

"Home?" Brittany asked.

"Yes, home." Santana confirmed. "But maybe we could go via Breadstix, just for old times sake."

Brittany giggled at Santana's train of thought. "Sounds good to me." She agreed.

"Yes!" Santana said enthusiastically as she punched the air.

They both laughed as they pulled out of the car park and drove off into Lima.

Stay home and stay safe :)
