This is the first update I've done in like, ages but hopefully you like it :) let me know what you think :)

Santana sat in the choir room with Alexandra and Dro playing on the floor in front of her as she waited for Rachel to return from the office, she glanced up to where Anne was sat on the chair and gestured for her to join her on the floor. "Anne, what am I going to do about university?"

"What do you want to do?"

"I want to go in the Navy but I can't leave Dro. He's still so young, and I only just got Rachel. What if something happens to me?"

"Babe. You've gotta do whatever you think is right. The Navy is a massive commitment and I know you're up for it but have you told Rach you're thinking about it?"

"No. I didn't want to hurt her."

"Why didn't you tell any of us you were thinking about it?"

Santana looks down at the ground, "It doesn't matter. I can't leave Dro, he's too young. I don't want to miss out on that much of his life."

"When are you going to tell the truth about what you'll be doing?"

"What do you mean?"

"I found a folder in your room earlier. I think you know which one I'm talking about."

Santana's eyes widen and she looks up. "No. You can't tell anyone about that. No one can know even if I accept it."

"You already have."

"Damn you really read it didn't you?" Santana groans.

"Sorry. You know I'm nosy. You got asked to be an agent for NCIS. That's a big deal!"

"I know, which is why I took it. But I have to make Rachel think I have another job, and how am I meant to do that? She's expecting me to go to uni."

"So go." Anne shrugs. "You can do both. We both know her heart is set on NYADA, so you go to NYU. You can study law, or languages. You can guarantee they will be easy for you, you'll learn about Law through your job anyway."

"Yeah but I won't be able to go to classes and how am I supposed to explain being away for long periods of time?"

"Fine. Say you're a cop. That way you're not lying completely and she will understand when you're home late etc."

"There is one other small problem."

"What's that?"

"IgotassignedtotheLAbranch." Santana rushes out.

"You're going to LA?" Anne asks, shocked.

"I have to! I'm gonna hate being away from Rae but, I hope we can make it."

"Why will you have to be away from me?" Rachel's voice sounds from the doorway, sounding clearly upset. Anne takes that as her cue to leave and stands, picking up Alexandra and Dro before walking out of the room.

"Baby..." Santana begins.

"I thought we'd finally be together! Either in New York or LA."

"But baby. You have your heart set on NYADA and you know it. I've had a job offer in LA. I can't let you pass up on NYADA, I won't let you pass it up. I know we were going to be together but you got accepted into NYADA and I got accepted for this job."

"B...but you got accepted to NYADA too..." Rachel stutters, attempting to hold off on her tears.

"But that's not my dream Rach, that's yours, yeah I love singing and dancing but that's not my dream. You live for broadway."

"But I'll come with you! We can stay together, Alexandra and Dro can stay together!"

"Baby you know I can't let you do that." Santana cries, allowing her own tears to fall as she steps closer to Rachel. "NYADA is waiting for their star, and no matter what, I'll make it back to you. We will be together again, I'm not letting the distance break us but this is a once in a lifetime opportunity."

"What about Dro?"

"He's coming with me. You will have Anne and Lex with you, as well as Alexandra, and we will text and speak as much as we can, and Dro will Skype you everyday even if I can't."

"Who's going to be with you?"

"Mike." Santana breathes. "He got offered a job as a dance teacher out there so he can take care of Dro while I'm at work."

"When do you leave?"

Santana bows her head before she responds, "I'm graduating early. I leave after Christmas."

"What?" Rachel explodes. "Santana, that's two months away!"

"I know. That's why we have to make the most of these two months. I got the letter yesterday and I knew I had to make you mine before I left. Please don't leave me."

"I could never." Rachel breathes, finally allowing the tears to fall as she buries her head in the crook of Santana's neck.
