Chapter 53

Wedding Planning

June – Sophomore Year/Junior Year – Age 20

Amanda had offered to take Charlotte out shopping for a little while. This gave Finn and Santana an opportunity to have day time sex. It was such a rarity that they enjoyed every second of their first round. They got to be loud and outside of the bedroom. A while different idea from their typical – stuck in the bedroom, lights off, quiet sex. So to say that they enjoyed themselves being child free would be quite an understatement. Their child free afternoon got them to thinking of a honeymoon.

"So where do you want to go?" Finn asked.

"Somewhere warm and exotic," she replied, enjoying hearing Finns heartbeat as they lay in bed together. "Thailand?"

"Really? I figured you would want to go to an island or something."

"That's too played out," she said. "I still want to see the world."

"That certainly would be nice," Finn mused. "We should totally try to take a trip or two a year. One for the family, and one for just us. You know Mom and Burt would watch Char for us."

"Mm, now we should start picking a date."

"Well, we'll need to get jobs, save up, have a place," Finn said, working through his mental checklist. "2 years after graduation?"

"I can work with that," Santana replied leaning up to kiss him.

Santana started her summer session first and was really enjoying her classes: Advanced Pathophysiology, health care aspects with human sexuality and lifespan development psychology. Getting into these upper level classes only further cemented into her mind that she wanted to be a nurse. Her on the job training would allow her to move up to become a surgical nurse. That was the ideal. During these classes, Santana would allow her mind to wander a bit to her future. She pictured walking down the aisle toward Finn in a white dress, laying on a beach on her honeymoon; being pregnant and moving into a real house. It didn't help when she saw Finn looking up vacation packages in Thailand. Her life was not the same as she thought five years ago but she wasn't any less satisfied.
