a/n: Wow! You guys are AWESOME! I really do appreciate all of the following and favorite alerts and reviewing you guys have been doing. They really motivate me to update faster.

Just to answer some questions some readers have asked….no they are not living in New York or getting married there either…yet. To be honest I don't know where I have them living lol that's why I never say the name of their city. Also I don't have a name for Rachel's band. I don't know if I ever will. Left up to me it would be something cheesy and I'm not going to do that to you guys :) Someone also asked if I know where I'm taking this story….kind of. I have some notes but mostly it's just me writing whatever, whenever I can lol

Well…I hope you guys enjoy the chapter. Don't forget to let me know what you think. THANKS!

Disclaimer: I own nothing.

"Be careful." Santana watches as Rachel pulls on Beth hand to make sure the little blonde stays on the inside of the sidewalk.

"Can we have ice cream?" Beth stops abruptly and looks up to Rachel. "I want ice cream, Rae."

"If she gives her ice cream then Beth is staying with you guys tonight." Quinn says as she and Santana stand a few feet back, watching as Rachel bits her bottom lip as she thinks about the request.

Santana, Quinn and Beth arrived in New York early this morning. They didn't leave the hotel until it was time to go to dinner. After dinner they went to see a play and now they are making their way back to the hotel for the night.

"Pleeeeease!" Santana laughs at the little pout on Beth's face.

"No." Santana steps in before Rachel gives in. "Not tonight. I'll take you for ice cream tomorrow." Santana pokes Beth's cheek. "Okay?"

"Promise?"

"Promise." Beth nods and goes back to tugging Rachel down the street to their hotel.

"Are you and Sanny going to the park tomorrow with Mommy and me?" Santana doesn't get to hear how Rachel response to Beth's questions because the sound of Quinn laughing beside her steals her attention.

"You do know that she was going to say yes, right?" Quinn nods in Rachel's direction. "She needs to learn how to say no to 'the pout' before you guys have kids."

This time it's Santana who stops on the side walk. "What? Who's having kids?"

Quinn just laughs and grabs Santana's hand. "Don't act like you don't want to have kids on your own." Quinn says knowingly. "And Rachel is obviously very good with that idea."

"And you know this how?" Santana and Rachel have never talked about having kids. Santana basically already has one but she doesn't know how Rachel feels about them having one together.

Quinn just smirks before calling out to Rachel who looks to be in deep conversation with Beth. Rachel tightens her hold on Beth's hand, slowing down so Quinn and Santana can catch up. "You're very good with Beth."Quinn smiles at the little duo. "Your kids will be lucky to have you."

"That's so sweet of you to say Quinn." Rachel beams, giving Quinn and one armed hug.

Santana just stares Quinn down. Yeah, she got Rachel to kind of admit that kids is something she's thinking about for in the future but Rachel never said that Santana was the person she was going to have kids with.

"Can we go? It stinks out here." Beth tugs on Rachel's hand.

The adults laugh before Santana bends down to be eye level with Beth. "I'll give you a piggy back ride the rest of the way. Your little feet must be hurting."

"Yay!"

00000000000000

"Ugh."Santana groans. "Will you please get that damn phone?" Santana rolls away from Rachel.

Rachel rolls her eyes, before sitting up and grabbing her phone. "What?"

"Hey!" Santana hears Pucks booming voice.

"You have ten seconds to tell me what you want before I hang up."Santana just smiles at Rachel's demanding tone.

"Okay. Someone's bitchy this morning."

"Five seconds Puck."

"Evans called a meeting for this morning. He wants us all in the main lobby at 9:15am." Santana looks over at the clock. It's 8:07am.

"I'll see you there. Bye." Rachel doesn't give Puck a chance to say anything else before hanging up. "Santana."Rachel lies back down next to her girlfriend, pressing her front up against Santana's back, throwing a leg over Santana's waist.

"What?"

"I have a meeting at 9. Did you want to shower with me?"

Rachel has a little over ten minutes left after having some amazing sex with Santana in the shower. She's currently standing in front of the mirror putting on earrings while Santana lies across the bed on her stomach.

"Do you wanna go out for breakfast after my meeting?"

"No. Not really."

Santana watches as Rachel gives herself one more look over before turning her attention to Santana. "What's that look about?"

Santana roll her eyes and go back to checking her text messages, which really isn't anything important, just Matt telling her about some new asshole working for their company.

"You're frowning." Rachel walks over to the bed and grabs Santana's phone. "You shouldn't be frowning after amazing sex. It's offensive to your partner." Rachel pokes Santana's side. "But don't worry. I'm not offended. I know I was amazing."

"Shut up."

"Ooooh and rude." Rachel sits Santana's phone on the bed. "What's up?"

"Don't you have somewhere to be?" Santana sits up and pecks Rachel on the cheek. "We'll go out for breakfast if you want."

They just sit and stare at each other before Rachel gets up. "Just call room service." Then Rachel's out of the door before Santana can even began to stop her. Santana sighs at the closed door. Rachel's going to be upset when she gets back. Santana knows she's being a bitch but she just can't help it.

Santana has just got done slipping into her black skinny jeans when Rachel returns to their room.

"How was your meeting?" Rachel just shrugs.

"Fine." Santana finish putting on her shoes then walks over to stand in front of Rachel.

"I'll ask again," Santana reaches out and uses Rachel's shirt to pull her closer. "How." She pecks Rachel's lips. "Was." Another kiss. "your meeting?"

Rachel's smiling now but she still shrugs. "Fine."

Santana sighs. "Fine. Let's go get something to eat."

"Fine." Rachel reaches for the door but before she can open it, Santana is grabbing her elbow.

"Wait." Rachel turns around to see what the holdup is. "I'm sorry."

"Don't apologize just for the sake of apologizing, Santana."

Santana rolls her eyes. "I'm not. You know I hate when we disagree."

"Disagree?" Rachel frowns. "You've had an attitude since last night and I have no idea why. I didn't know we were disagreeing about something."

Santana watches as Rachel crosses her arms and leans back against the hotel door. "And yes I'm in my feelings because I miss you and I don't want to spend these couple of days we have together arguing."

"I know." Santana sighs.

There are a few minutes of just standing and staring at each other before Rachel speaks again. "Is this about Quinn's comments? You know the ones about kids?"

Santana decides to just put it all out there and be honest. "Partly."

"Seriously Santana," Rachel rolls her eyes. "Do I look like I'm ready to be a house mom?" Santana doesn't get to respond because Rachel continues on. "We've only been together for a year. There is still so much I don't know about you."

"I didn't say you were thinking about carrying my kid." Santana weakly tries to argue.

"Good." Rachel huffs. "But if we are being completely honest," Rachel gives Santana a shy smile. "In the future I do want to have kids with you." Rachel steps closer to Santana. "I would love to be your wife and mother of your kids one day." They share a slow kiss. "But not today or anytime soon." Rachel playfully pushes Santana away. "So just chill."

"Sorry." Santana shakes her head. "Let's just try to keep from any heavy topics until you come back home. Okay?"

"Sure." Rachel shrugs. "Now let's go eat."

"I think Santana is freaking out." Rachel paces around her hotel room, phone pressed against her face.

"Um…I don't know where you are in the world right now," Marley's sleepy voice comes over the other end of the phone line. "But it's four in the morning where I am."

"Marley, I'm being serious." Marley mumbles about how she was serious, but it goes unheard because Rachel returns to her panic mode. "Santana's freaking out!"

"And I think you're freaking out."

"No…yes. Yes I am. I'm freaking out." Rachel admits. "But only because my girlfriend is freaking out. I can't handle this."

"Okay…okay…breath." Marley tries to calm her frantic sister. "Tell me what happened."

Rachel goes on to tell Marley about how, two weeks ago, Quinn made jokes about how Rachel and Santana are one day going to have kids. How Santana freaked out and started reverting back to the woman she first met, the woman who doesn't like to talk about feelings. Rachel tells Marley about how they talked about it and the trip went a lot smoother after their conversation in the hotel room. Then she finishes up with telling Marley about their last night together and how she told Santana what the meeting was about. Mr. Evans is thinking about having Rachel's band record some of their songs in a studio in New York. Things have been kind of awkward between them ever since Rachel delivered that news to Santana. That's why Rachel is freaking out right now.

She just got off the phone with Santana, and while Santana is being her usual sometimes sweet self, she also was a little moody. Rachel will return home in a few days and has been trying to talk to Santana about going on a date when she gets home, but Santana hasn't been responsive. She just says she's down for whatever, but Rachel doesn't think Santana is too excited about them going on a date. Bottom line, Rachel is freaking out because she doesn't know how Santana feels about these new changes in Rachel's life.

In their life together.

Rachel's not even sure that they are going to be recording in New York. No final decision has been made, but Rachel just can tell that that decision might be an issue for her relationship.

"Okay…so Santana is freaking out." Marley agrees after Rachel gets done explain how Santana has been acting.

"Not helping."

"Sorry." Marley yawns. "Look…just talk to her about it. There's really not much else you can do."

"I know but…"

"No buts." Marley interrupts. "Santana's acting crazy because she loves you and…I don't know. She's Santana. Feelings have always been a complicated part of you guys relationship. You wear your feelings on your sleeve and Santana buries them." Marley says knowingly. "You've guys managed to make it work this long, I'm sure you'll figure it out."

Rachel takes in her sisters words. "True."

"Are you good now?" Marley yawns again. "I love you but I'd really like to go back to sleep now."

Rachel nods her head with a smile on her face. "Thanks Mar. Love you. Sweet dreams."

Rachel hangs up the phone and flops down onto her bed. She plays around with her phone before deciding to just call Santana tomorrow. They just talked not even an hour ago, plus she'd rather have that conversation in person.

Rachel: Love You! Good Night!

She can't help but send.

Rachel feels a lot better when she gets a speedy reply.

Santana: Night babe. Love you more :)
