At the studio...

Ryan was pacing back and forth in his office, he did his best to ignore the constant buzzing of his blackberry. The news of Heather and Naya had spread like wildfire and he couldn't help but feel betrayed.

"I just sent them on an all expenses paid trip to avoid this exact situation! I can't believe this, how are we supposed to deal with the press now? It's not like they were seen somewhere together, that i can handle. The confirmation came from Naya's own fucking mouth!"

Lea did her best to calm Ryan down, he was frantic and the vein in his throat was throbbing which was his tell tale sign of stress. He kept repeating the same things over and over again. After a while Lea couldn't deal with it anymore. He was being selfish, all he seemed to care about was protecting the reputation of the show and the ratings.

"Can you stop and listen to yourself for a second?" Lea yelled.

Ryan stopped dead in his tracks, bewildered that she dared to yell at him. He was about to give Lea a tongue lashing but before he could open his mouth she interrupted him once more.

"Just hear me out okay? Naya and Heather have been in love with each other since day one, this isn't a surprise. You're forgetting where Brittana came from, it wasn't like Finchel or Tike or any of the other relationships you created. It was their on screen chemistry that made it a reality. The fans obviously love it, so i really don't see the big deal with them being so open about being together off of the show. If anything it will help the ratings. Plus we all do stuff for the LGBT community and you of all people can't be angry because of this. You're being a hypocrite Ryan."

As soon as Lea finished her speech, Brad walked into the office accompanied by two very tan but very terrified girls.

Back in the car...

"Shit, Nay what are we going to do?" Heather couldn't believe it. A few moments ago she felt like nothing in the world could tear her down. Naya had just announced to the world that they were engaged. Shouldn't that be the best moment of her life? All she wanted to do was kiss her right then and there in front of everyone but that nagging feeling in the pit of her stomach told her something bad was going to happen.

"This is fucking ridiculous. How does he find out about these things so quickly? Does he have spies following us and capturing our every move? I honestly don't care what he has to say. He's our boss babe but that doesn't give him the right to dictate our lives."

Naya was on a whole different level compared to Heather. She wasn't worried at all, she was fuming. Naya was known for being stubborn but this time she had a right to be. Everything was finally falling into place for her. She was an icon in the LGBT community, she was on one of the most successful comedies on television and she was marrying the girl of her dreams. She didn't want to feel bad for her happiness.

"Babe i understand where you're coming from but he just sent us on a really nice vacation. He payed for everything too and remember why he sent us away in the first place... Brittana is going to happen and he wanted it to be a surprise. That's why we were supposed to lay low."

Heather had a point, considering all of the events that have happened over the past few weeks, it had slipped Naya's mind that the whole reason they got to be together alone, was so they weren't seen together in public. She rubbed her temple and began muttering to herself in Spanish.

Heather could see the frustration building up inside of the Latina, she knew the girl like the back of her hand and knew that tears were the next thing to come. She reached over and grabbed her fiance's hand and kissed it gently before placing it in her lap.

Naya looked over and saw a small but hopeful smile on Heathers face. Sometimes that would be all it took, but not now. She was in panic mode.

"No matter what happens, you're going to be my wife." Heather said bluntly before they turned into the paramount lot and head to meet their impending scolding.

Back at the studio...

"Girls take a seat" Ryan said coldly.

They did as they were told, they sat on the couch next to each other, holding hands as they received sympathetic looks from both Lea and Brad.

"Lea, Brad, give us a moment please." He addressed them just as coldly. As soon as they exited the room Ryan made eye contact with the girls for the first time.

"Can either of you tell me why i spend $15,000 a month on PR for the cast of this show?" Ryan asked.

The girls looked at each other for an answer, or to see if they should even attempt to answer the rhetorical question at all.

"Let me tell you why. I am only as successful as my crew. You two are part of my crew. If you drink and drive it looks poorly on me, if you are caught in any type of scandal it reflects badly on me and it also looks bad for our show and for our network. If i am blind sighted by something how am i supposed to fix it? I obviously can't keep constant tabs on the two of you"

Could have fooled me, Naya thought to herself

"I can however, hire someone to make sure you stay out of trouble and clean up messes before they reach the press."

His words stung, Heather was not in any way a confrontational person but the vice grip she had on Naya's hand was saying otherwise. The calm and collect person that was in the car had disappeared.

"You did not just compare my engagement with the love of my life to a 'drunk driving incident' are you kidding me? You can't seriously be giving us this speech right now. I understand your big plans for Santana and Brittany but you also need to understand that I'm not fucking Brittany and she is not Santana. We are not characters you're talking to right now we're people Ryan!" Heather's blood was boiling, she wasn't done yet.

"Baby, calm down. Let him finish" Naya said softly. She felt like she was in an episode of the twilight zone, she'd never seen Heather act like this before.

Ryan seemed to be just as surprised as Naya. His face was pale and his mouth agape. He didn't even try to speak at this point, he knew she had more to say.

"I will not calm down. Ryan we love you and we can't thank you enough for everything you have done for us especially over the past few weeks but you can't tell us how to live our lives. If anything this is good for you and the show and us. Tell me how many lesbian characters on tv are actually gay? Not too many. We're making this a reality. The whole reason Brittany and Santana are together are because Naya and I have loved each other since we met. We have so many fans. I'm sorry we didn't tell you before we made it public but you must understand what it's like to be in love. Sometimes you just can't hold it in anymore. You just wanna scream it out to the world."

Naya adored Heather in this moment, she could see the passion in her eyes and the way she defended their relationship further solidified her decision to marry the girl. She was perfect, she was everything good in the world and she was all Nayas.

Ryan remained silent for a moment, soaking in what Heather had just said. He remembered back when Zach proposed to him, all he wanted to do was tell everyone, he would have shouted it from the rooftops if didn't think they would be stoned for doing so. He then realized the real reason he was so upset about all of this, it was because he wanted the same thing for himself but the opportunity was snatched away from him. A wave of guilt flooded over his conscience and he knew he needed to apologize.

"Youre right" he said.

"And another thing!- Wait what?" Heather was about to deliver verbal bashing number two until she registered what Ryan had said.

"I said, you're right. I don't get to tell you how to live your lives. Truth is, if i were in your position right now i would have done the same thing. If people loved and accepted Zach and I as much as they do you and Naya i would have told the world."

Now Naya had a headache. Everyone constantly changing emotions was making her dizzy. All she wanted was to go home and sleep in her bed with her girlfriend and her cat, was that so much to ask?

"I'm really sorry girls, i let my own personal issues get in the way. I really am happy for you." Ryan got up out of his chair and walked over to give them both a hug. He dismissed them and reminded them to be back at 6am for call time in the morning.

Heather and Naya walked out of the office and headed back to the car. They hadn't said a word to each other since leaving the office. They were still processing what happened and trying to understand Ryans bipolar ways. Naya was the first to speak.

"I don't even know what just happened right now" she shook her head and looked towards Heather.

"I think we just had a Brittany moment" Heather said which prompted a laugh from Naya in return.

" I love you, you know that right?" Naya stopped the blonde before she reached the car, she pulled her close so their bodies were flush against one another and she was once again staring into blue orbs.

"Yes, but i never get tired of hearing it. Let's go home baby before someone else tries to stop us." Heather kissed the Latina's nose and pulled her towards the car. Today had been extremely long for the both of them. She didn't want anything else getting in the way of starting her new life with Naya. Tomorrow they would deal with the world.
