Chapter 11: The Wedding
Santana's POV
Monday 17th June 2019
It's the day before Brittany and I get married and I can't say I really want to stay at my parent's house tonight. I think I'd much rather stay with Brittany and just have a relaxing evening before the mad rush tomorrow with the wedding preparations. I mean all of the planning is done but it's going to be a hectic day with things arriving like the cake and not to mention it's going to take a while for Brittany and me to get ready.
"Do we have to stay in separate houses?" I whine.
"Yes we do baby otherwise it'll be bad luck to see the bride the night before the wedding" Brittany replies.
"Are you sure it's bad luck?" I ask.
"I'm not a hundred percent sure but I'd rather not chance it to find out if it's all the same" she smiles.
"Good point" I nod. "I guess I should pack a little bag then with my stuff in it" I say while grabbing my nightwear and a few other things I'll need tonight.
"I don't want to be apart from you either but it might be fun to spend the night apart. It'll show us how much we love one another" Brittany says.
"I don't need a night apart to realise how much you mean to me, I already know that" I tell her.
"Ok well at least this way you get to spend some time with your family before you get another whole family tomorrow" she smiles.
"You're already my family but ok" I say while leaning in to kiss her.

I'm watching TV in the living room with my brother and nephew but I'm still really bored right now without Brittany. It's been a very long time since we ever spent the night apart so it feels strange that I won't see her until tomorrow again. It also feels really strange to be staying in a house with a baby, it's been such a long time since that happened. It's Jason's night to have Harry tonight and plus with Quinn being a bridesmaid tomorrow then she'll be here in the morning anyway to get ready with me so Harry is staying here with us until the wedding.
"Santana can you watch Harry for two seconds while I quickly use the bathroom" Jason asks me while sitting Harry on my lap.
"Wait, what am I supposed to do with him?" I ask because he's been crying non-stop for the last ten minutes.
"Just try and soothe him or something, look Santana I wouldn't ask if I wasn't desperate" Jason asks while jumping around on the spot, obviously desperate to use the bathroom.
"Fine but just hurry up, I don't want my hearing lost the day before my wedding if he is going to continue to scream in my ear" I state. I love my nephew but it's not going to be a great day tomorrow if I can't hear a word Brittany says to me. I mean how am I meant to know what she says in her vows?
"He's not going to burst your eardrums, don't exaggerate" Jason says while shaking his head before leaving.
"You daddy has had to go to the other room so you're stuck with me now" I say while smiling down at him. There's no denying how cute he is, I just can't wait until Brittany and I finally have a baby. "I really hope you're not crying because I'm here because then that'd make me sad and I don't want you to hate me" I say but it doesn't seem to make much difference to him. "Hey how about I make you a deal, if you stop crying just now then I promise you that me and auntie Brittany will give you a little cousin to hang out with soon" I say as a joke really but then suddenly I realise he has stopped crying and is now staring up at me.
"Hey you got him to stop crying" Jason says cheerfully while walking into the room.
"I know but it was super freaky how I did that. I just started swaying him a little and talking to him but initially it didn't work until I told him that if he stopped crying then I'd get him a little friend to hang out with" I say.
"It's probably just a coincidence or something because Quinn can usually get him to stop crying after gently swaying him from side to side. I can just never get the rhythm of it to be honest" Jason shrugs.
"Yeah perhaps it was then" I say.
"So how are the nerves about tomorrow?" he asks while sitting down next to me and taking Harry from me.
"I'm not nervous really, I'm excited to get married more than anything" I reply.
"I suppose you've did all this before so it won't be that much of a big deal right, you know what they say third time's a charm so the girl after Brittany will be the one I guess" Jason says and I immediately hit him on the arm. "I'm kidding obviously, you know I like Brittany" he smiles.
"Yeah you better have been joking otherwise you won't be invited to my spectacular wedding" I state. Before I can say anything, my phone rings indicating I have a new text message.
"Oh Santana" Jason sighs while trying to calm down his crying son who obviously got a fright with the noise of my phone.
"I'm sorry, I must have forgot to put it on silent" I shrug.
"Can you calm him down again for me because I don't know if my head can take any more screaming?" Jason asks.
"I can't, I'm sorry" I say in what was probably in the least apologetic voice I had. I don't mean to be rude but Brittany just text me and I miss her like crazy so I'm not about to sit and help my brother parent his son when I could be texting my fiancée back.
"You sure sound sorry" Jason says while rolling his eyes.
"I am but Brittany just text me and I miss her so I need to text her back" I say excitedly while heading towards the door.
"Fine go then" Jason sighs. "I guess he'll stop crying in a few hours."
"That's not going to guilt trip me into helping so see you later Jay" I say while running out of the room and going upstairs to the guest bedroom where I will be staying tonight. As soon as I sit down on the bed, I open up the text that Brittany sent me and begin to text her back.
From Brittany: Hey, I miss you x
To Brittany: I miss you too baby x
From Brittany: I am so bored without you right now. Emma is making me watch a romantic comedy right now and it only reminds me of us.
To Brittany: Oh that sucks babe but hey at least we'll see one another tomorrow.
From Brittany: Tomorrow isn't soon enough though, I want to see you now.
To Brittany: I want to see you too honey.
From Brittany: I'm going to my room now and then I'm going to call you instead of texting, is that ok?
To Brittany: of course it's ok, speak to you soon.
It's less than a minute later before my phone rings so I quickly answer it. "Hey you" I say.
"Hey baby" Brittany replies cheerfully.
"Apart from watching romantic comedies with Emma that make you miss me, how has the rest of your day been?" I ask.
"Ok actually, I tried on my dress not so long ago and it fits me perfectly so that's definitely a weight off of my mind" Brittany says.
"That's good then" I smile at myself, happy that Brittany is happy. "Well since I last saw you my day hasn't been too bad although I'm extremely bored without you" I tell her.
"What are you wearing right now?" Brittany asks which confuses me.
"Um…my pyjamas, why do you ask?" I reply.
"I'm not wearing anything at the moment actually" Brittany tells me.
"Very funny babe but that joke doesn't wash with me because you use it all the time" I say laughing.
"It must make you a little hot though thinking of me not wearing anything" Brittany says.
"It does a little but what makes me even hotter is thinking of you in a wedding dress and how much I can't wait until tomorrow comes until I can finally marry you. I can't wait to finally call you my wife" I reply.
"Ok fair point" Brittany agrees.
"Now as much as I miss you right now, I think it's going to make us miss one another even more if we keep talking so perhaps we should just hang up now and just wait until the wedding" I suggest.
"Yeah you're right, I'll see you tomorrow" Brittany replies.
"See you tomorrow babe, goodnight" I say. "I love you."
"Love you too" she says and then we both hang up.

"Oh my god, you look so handsome" Quinn says smiling as she walks into the room.
"Um…thanks. I mean I'm not dressed yet or anything so I'll look even better in a second but I'm glad you like the hair and make-up so far" I smile. Saying that though, I'd prefer something more like beautiful rather than handsome. Handsome is usually a term you use to describe a male, not a female" I reply.
"What?" Quinn asks confused.
"I know I look beautiful Quinn but I'd rather you didn't call me handsome if it's all the same" I tell her.
"Oh, I wasn't talking to you. I was talking to my son, doesn't he look so handsome in his little tux. It's so adorable isn't it?" Quinn says smiling brightly at Harry.
"Yeah, precious" I say while rolling my eyes. "Look today is my day so if you're any kind of friend and bridesmaid then you'll help me right now and not be gushing all over my nephew" I state.
"Oh relax Santana, I haven't seen my son since yesterday so it's not a crime to say how cute he looks and give him a little kiss" Quinn replies.
"Oh my god, thank you" Eva says while hugging Quinn. "She has been a nightmare and my mom and I just don't know how to handle her right now" she says while pulling out of the hug. "First the makeup wasn't right and then it was the hair and then it was the breakfast we made for her and now she has just finished complaining about how her dad and brothers are dressed."
"Have we got a little bridezilla on our hands" Quinn laughs.
"Excuse me, I'm not a bridezilla, I just want things on my big day to be perfect and currently no one seems to be able to help" I state.
"I thought Brittany would be like this but not Santana" Quinn says.
"Don't talk about Brittany like that, I won't stand for it" I say seriously.
"Calm down and perhaps lay off the champagne because it's turning you into a panicked bride when only yesterday you said you weren't nervous" Eva says.
"I'm not nervous about marrying the girl of my dreams, I'm nervous about my family ruining it for me so I suggest you get your acts together otherwise no one is invited" I tell them.
"That suits me fine then" Quinn smiles.
"No, you're supposed to want to come to my wedding" I whine.
"Look just calm down, everything is going to be ok" Eva reassures me. "Quinn is just joking."

My dad and I are waiting at the entrance of the church waiting to go inside once everyone is seated. We're here slightly earlier than Brittany and her dad so that I've got time to get to the top of the aisle without Brittany seeing me before she walks down the aisle. We wanted to surprise one another so I don't want to see her in her dress either until I'm standing watching her walk down the aisle.
"Here we are again, huh?" I joke to my dad.
"It might be the second time you're getting married but I just know Brittany is the right one for you" my dad tells me. "She cares for you so much and she loves you more than anyone and you know how much your mom loves you so that's saying something" he smiles.
"Don't you love me?" I ask.
"I do but I like my sons better" he teases.
"Yeah right, I know I'm the favourite. I mean I was the first born so for a short period I was an only child so I was all you had to love" I point out.
"I suppose that's true" he smiles. "The music has just started so are you ready?" he asks.
"Definitely, I've never been more ready in all my life" I smile back.
"Excellent" he smiles. "Let's go and get you married" he says and we begin to slowly walk down the aisle. I have my flowers in one hand and I'm holding onto my dad's arm with my free hand. As I walk down, I can see all of my family and friends on one side of the church and all of Brittany's sitting on the other side. Eva, Quinn, Kitty and Tina are lining one side of the altar while Emma, Rachel and Mercedes are at the other side. Once I reach the altar, I give my flowers to Eva so she can hold them for me and about a second later, the music begins again and I look up to see Brittany walking down the aisle.
"You look beautiful" she tells me as she stands next to me.
"So do you" I whisper while winking at her.
"Who gives this bride to this bride" the officiant asks.
"I do" Brittany's dad smiles while placing Brittany's hand in mine. It feels like the whole ceremony is over within a flash but I don't mind because I still got to marry Brittany.
"I now pronounce you wife and wife, you may kiss one another" the officiant smiles. I don't waste any time in pulling Brittany closer to me and kissing her. I quickly feel her kiss me back and before we know it, there's a few wolf whistles from our guests who are obviously indicating that the kiss was getting too long.
"I love you so much" Brittany smiles as we pull away. "Those vows you wrote for me baby were just beautiful, I couldn't help tearing up when you were reading them out."
"Well I meant every word" I smile back.
Once we left the church and took lots of photos outside with our friends and family, we travelled to the reception in the wedding car while the other guests all arrived via a bus that we booked to take everyone so people would be able to have alcohol if they wanted with the meal. Everyone was seated and Brittany and I walked into the reception hand in hand as everyone gave us a round of applause as we entered. We're now all sitting down eating and chatting amongst ourselves. We decided that the speeches will be better after the meal so that way everyone has had a little to drink so they're more likely to laugh at the jokes my dad and Brittany's dad make compared to before the meal.
"I hated it last night when I was sleeping alone. I don't think I want to be away from you for more than a night ever again" Brittany tells me.
"Yeah I really missed you last night when I was at my parent's house" I reply.
"I suppose it's worth it now that I'm Mrs Brittany Lopez" Brittany smiles.
"That's true" I smile back.
"I can't stop admiring my rings and how good they both look on my finger. I'm never going to take them off you know" Brittany says.
"Perhaps you should take them off to shower though because I'd hate the water to damage the stone on your engagement ring because that cost me some serious bucks" I say.
"Way to ruin the mood baby" she says.
"Sorry" I say laughing before kissing her.
"I understand though" she smiles.
Brittany's POV
"Everyone it's time for the first dance for the happy couple" the lead singer of the band we hired says through the microphone. "If you both would like to take to the floor" he smiles. I lead Santana to the dancefloor just as the song to our first dance comes on. When we get to the middle she wraps her arms around my neck and I rest my hands on her hips.
"I need to tell you something" I say looking into her eyes. God she is the most beautiful woman on this planet, I don't know how I got so lucky.
"Ok" she smiles while looking back into my eyes.
"I'm pregnant" I smile as we start swaying to the music.
"No you're not, you're just messing with me" she replies.
"I'm not messing honey, I really am pregnant" I really can't stop smiling right now.
"I don't know what to say…I really didn't expect you to say that" she says shocked but happy.
"I haven't been to the doctor or anything but everything is pointing to me being pregnant. I mean I took six pregnancy tests and all six said positive. Then the other day when I was making sure my wedding dress fit properly and it didn't need any little adjustments, my mom noticed it was too tight for me. Initially I just thought I put on a little weight but now I actually think it's because I'm pregnant. Also Emma thought my boobs looked a little bigger and so did you so surely it's because of the pregnancy" I tell her.
"But what about morning sickness, I haven't noticed you being sick or anything?" she asks.
"That's what I was concerned about but apparently morning sickness doesn't start until around six weeks and I think I'm only just six weeks because it's been around two weeks since my missed period" I reply.
"I guess that makes sense" Santana shrugs.
"All six tests can't be wrong can they?" I ask.
"I'd hope not but you do seem to have a lot of pregnancy symptoms so don't worry about not having morning sickness yet. The last thing to do is worry and stress yourself out" she tells me.
"Yeah you're right" I smile. "Hey I've booked the earliest appointment I could get tomorrow morning to see my doctor and I'm hoping she can confirm I'm pregnant before we leave for the vacation tomorrow."
"Ok, cool" she smiles back.
"You're going to come with me aren't you?" I ask.
"Of course I'll go with you" she says leaning in to kiss me. Once the song to our first dance finishes, another song comes on and a few of our guests join us on the dancefloor.

"Come on, I'm going to carry you over the threshold" I say as we reach our front door.
"No way Brittany" I state seriously. "You're pregnant so I'm not letting you carry me anywhere, are we clear?" Santana says.
"But…"
"No buts baby, I'm just not having you lift me when you're pregnant" she says.
"You're as light as a feather Santana, it won't be that hard" I reply.
"You are not carrying me in the door Brittany, end of story" she states firmly.
"We've had a fight already and we've only just got married" I point out.
"It's not a fight, it's a disagreement" Santana says. "There is a difference baby."
"Ok, whatever" I say brushing it off.
"Look let's just forget about it and you can just let me carry you in the door" Santana suggests. I know there is no way she's going to give up so I might as well just let her carry me.
"Ok fine but just watch you don't trip over your dress and we both end up going flying through the door" I say.
"I'll be fine, don't worry" Santana smiles before quickly scooping me up in her arms. I wrap both of my arms around her neck tightly so I don't fall.
"Um…honey, maybe you want to loosen your hold because I can't breathe properly" Santana says.
"Sorry, I've just got this weird feeling you're going to drop me on the floor or something" I say.
"I won't but the quicker you relax the quicker I can get inside" Santana says.
"Ok" I nod and then Santana walks inside.
"There we go" Santana says while putting me back on the ground. "I guess we should really get to bed now before your appointment in the morning" she says and I agree so once we lock up we go right to bed.
They're now officially married, let me know what you think. The honeymoon will be next chapter so hopefully I can get that updated soon.
