I don't own glee or the characters :(
Looking For San
Chapter 12
The class of 2012 Mckinley High school were seated in the gymnasium, waiting for their names to be called. Santana and Brittany were sitting by each other and with every name being called both girls grew more nervous.
Santana had received the word last night that Brittany did graduate, the blondes mother called her and told the Latina that Brittany had managed to pass all her classes with the highest marks she had ever received. They also thought it would be fun to surprise Brittany with the fact that she graduated, neither women telling the blonde she had passed.
'' San I just know I didn't graduate, they passed the P's and my last name starts with a P.'' Brittany whispered in Santana's ears as they both watched Principal Figgins called the students name by alphabetical order.
'' Britt, he's only at the K's, that's five letters before P.'' Santana laughed as she took Brittany's hand and gave it a tight squeeze. It was killing her not to tell her girlfriend, but she knew the look of surprise and shock that was going to come from the blonde would be all worth it.
'' Santana Lopez!'' Principal Figgins shouted into the microphone.
'' San that's you, you graduated!'' Brittany said as she hugged the Latina. Santana quickly hugged Brittany back before she stood up and walked to the stage. The Latina limped to the stage, Santana was glad she was finished with her crutches and now just had to wear the brace. It made her feel somewhat normal again.
Once Principal Figgins handed her the diploma Santana stood center stage and looked in the crowd. She first spotted her parents who somehow managed to get front row seats, and was now taking several pictures, her father giving the Latina a standing ovation, while her mother sat with tears. Santana then looked over at the other direction and spotted her other family, the glee club. They all had big smile's on their faces and to Santana's surprise Mr Shue was crying. Although the one person who caught the Latina's eye was Brittany. She was jumping up and down with her graduation dress on and was clapping over and over again.
I cannot wait till her name gets called. Santana thought as she made her way over by the people whos names were already called and sat down.
Name after name got called and they were now in the P's. Santana's heart skipped a beat as she realized that Brittany's name was going to be called soon.
'' Paul Peace.'' Principal Figgins called out. The crowd clapped as the next graduate came up to receive his diploma. Santana knew Brittany was next. The Latina couldn't help but smile, Brittany was going to be so happy.
'' Rob Quantiz.'' Principal Figgins called out the next name,ending the P's and now moved on to the Q's. Santana's head spun, the Latina was so confused she couldn't move. Santana knew the blonde graduated, her mother even told her so. This wasn't right, something had to be wrong. Santana looked in the crowd to see Brittany, once she spotted the blonde her heart sank. It was obvious, even from were Santana was sitting that the blonde was crying. She had her head in her hands and her whole body shook. Santana wanted to go down and comfort the blonde, to tell her everything was going to be all right. After all Brittany had done the very same thing with Santana every since the accident, it was the least Santana could do.
The Latina was about to stand when Figgins interrupted the Latina's thought.
'' It looks like we skipped over a name by accident, my apologies. I would now like to congratulate Brittany Pierce for graduating.'' The principal said. Usually his voice was boring and uninterested but this time Figgins voice was happy and upbeat. The crowd was yelling and clapping, each person on their feet. Everyone knew how hard it was for Brittany to graduate, they were also very surprised. Although no one was as surprised as Santana when she noticed that Brittany hadn't moved from her seat.
'' Uh, Brittany, come get you certificate.'' Principal Figgins called. Everyone turned to the direction the blonde was sitting in and stared at her. Santana did the same thing and noticed Brittany was sitting with a blank look on her face.
'' Santana go do something.'' Rachel Berry said to the Latina as she turned around from the front row of the graduated class. Santana just nodded as she stood up quickly and limped over to Brittany. All eyes were now on her as she reached the blonde.
'' Britt, what's wrong?'' Santana asked as she knelt down by the sitting blonde.
'' I'm paralyzed with fear.'' Brittany whispered as she finally made eye contact with the blonde.
'' Would you be paralyzed with fear if I walked up there with you?'' The Latina asked, once again taking her hand and holding it. Brittany shook her head, not saying anything.
'' Well then let's go.'' Santana smiled as she got Brittany to stand up and begin walking to the stage.
As the two walked to the stage their wasn't one person who wasn't either crying or clapping for the two.
'' I did it San, I really graduated.'' Brittany smiled as the two approached the stage and the blonde got handed her diploma.
'' Here you go Brittany, you deserve this.'' Principal Figgins said as he surprisingly gave Brittany a quick hug and Santana a smile. No one ever knew the two trouble makers of the school would be the principals favorites.
As the two sat together with the others in the graduated class the crowd was still clapping and cheering for the blonde.
'' They love me!'' Brittany joked as she leaned on Santana playfully.
'' Not as much as I do.'' Santana replied giving Brittany a kiss, which only made the crowd cheer louder.
Brittany couldn't help blush and continue to smile. '' I will never forget this.''
'' Neither will I B, neither will I.'' Santana said back, loving every moment of her life.
Five years later...
Quinn walked into the cold arena with a coffee in hand. She was bundled up with her warmest clothes since it was even colder outside.
'' I really hate winter.'' Quinn said to herself as she looked over at the bleachers. She smiled as she spotted the Latina she hadn't seen in over a year and started to walk towards her.
'' Q!'' Santana smiled as Quinn reached her. The two hugged and didn't pull apart for what had to be a good couple minutes.
'' Wow I didn't know how much I missed you.'' Santana admitted as the two sat back down and watched the ice.
'' How long has it been since I last saw you two?'' Quinn asked.
'' Over a year.'' Santana said frowning a bit as she shivered in her winter jacket.
Quinn slightly smiled, not happy that it's been so long since she saw her best high school friends. '' So, what are you and Brittany up to these days?'' Quinn asked.
'' Well we bought our first real house.'' Santana smiled.
'' Really?'' Quinn asked, excited for her friends.
'' Yeah, although it's in New York.'' Santana admitted. Quinn opened her mouth in shock, then shut it back again, acting like a fish.
'' Why so far away S?'' Quinn asked. The blondes heart was slowly sinking as she realized she was about to loose two of her best friends, Quinn knew she hadn't been in their lives for over a year now but just talking to Santana was refreshing.
'' Well I found work there, as a lawyer.'' Santana said proudly, smiling to Quinn.
'' That's great San.'' Quinn said.
'' Thanks Q, plus Britt thinks she can open her own dance studio there, which is the perfect job for her.'' Santana added.
Quinn nodded, knowing she had to let her two best friends go. '' And you guys found a house there?'' Quinn asked.
Santana nodded. '' Yeah, it's perfect Q.'' The Latina said with a glimmer in her eye. '' It's big, so we have lots of room and it has a big lake in the back Q. It's a dream come true Quinn, it really is.''
'' I'm so happy for you two San, I really am.'' Quinn said, putting on a smile.
'' I know your sad about it Q, but I may have a fix for it.'' Santana said eyeing Quinn.
'' And what would that be?'' Quinn asked, curious.
'' Well, there's a new house beside it that was for sale..'' Santana started, knowing as soon as she stopped talking Quinn would jump in. '' It's the perfect size for you and Sam, and there's enough room for kids since I know you want kids in the future.'' Santana explained.
'' But Santana, how much does it cost?'' Quinn asked, knowing just by the sounds of it the house was going to be expensive.
'' Oh come on Q, I know you two aren't short on money since your parents won the lottery and gave all the money to you two. Plus Sam just got that new job coaching Mckinley football which is good money. We'll be neighbors and close again, just like old times.'' Santana said stopping as she herd the final buzzer go off and watched the skaters come of the ice.
A couple minutes of silence went by as Santana finally spotted Brittany coming off the ice with her hockey gear on. The blonde made her way over to the two sitting on the bench.
'' San.'' Brittany said as she took her helmet off and gave Santana a passionate kiss.
'' Britt, weren't you suppose to go to the locker room and change?'' The Latina asked.
'' I didn't want to get lost again San, and plus Quinn's here.'' Brittany smiled as she hugged Quinn tightly.
'' It's definitley been too long B.'' Quinn said letting go of the other blonde and smiling.
'' So what were you two talking about?'' Brittany asked as she sat in the bleacher below the two other girls and let Santana put up her damp hair in a ponytail.
'' That you guys are moving to New York.'' Quinn said studying the two girls and noticing how together they were meant to be.
'' Did you tell her about the other house San?'' Brittany asked. Santana just nodded. '' Good cause I think you two will love it there.'' Brittany smiled.
Quinn sat quiet for a couple minutes, thinking. '' Is this why you suddenly called me today Santana, you had this all planned out. Didn't you.'' Quinn asked.
Before Santana got a chance to answer Brittany interrupted. '' Yeah we did Q. Once we saw the two new houses together we thought it would be perfect if you and Sam would move in beside us.'' Brittany explained.
'' B, you weren't suppose to say that.'' Santana whispered into Brittany's ear.
'' Oh, sorry San.'' Brittany replied. This only made Quinn laugh at the two.
'' I miss not being around you two.'' Quinn blurted.
'' So, is that a yes?'' Brittany asked.
Quinn sat quiet for what seemed like a long time, finally the other blonde got impatient. '' So..'' Brittany said.
Quinn sighed before answering. '' Yea. I guess were moving to New York.'' She smiled. '' But of course I have to let Sam know and give his work notice, we also have to check the house out.'' The blonde added.
'' Yay!'' Brittany squealed as she jumped up and started to clap her hands. '' I can't wait till we all move in, it's gonna be so much fun!'' The blonde added.
'' I can't wait either.'' Santana admitted as she stood up beside Brittany and grabbed a hold of Brittany's hand. '' It's been really nice seeing you Quinn, but I have to get this one to the changing room to get changed out of her hockey gear.'' Santana said as she said good bye to Quinn. '' You have our number, right.'' The Latina asked.
'' Yea, I'll give you a call tonight.'' Quinn said with a smile as she stood up and began to walk to the door.
'' Sounds good Q.'' Brittany said smiling at the other blonde.
Quinn found herself smiling as she was about to exit the arena. She then got a thought that made her stop and turn around. '' Hey!'' Quinn yelled. Brittany and Santana turned around at the sound of their names. '' Since when did Britt play hockey, I thought she couldn't even skate.'' Quinn laughed, remembering the past when her and Santana tried to teach the blonde how to skate.
'' Like I told you Q many years ago, I've been practicing.'' Brittany smiled as her and San continue to walk to the locker rooms. Quinn laughed as she exited the building, excited to tell her husband about their new home plans.
'' I can't believe it worked!'' Brittany yelled as the two entered the locker room. '' By the way San, I don't think your allowed to be in here, it's only for players.'' The blonde added.
'' I know, I cant believe it either, it's just gonna be like high school. Except much, much better. And I really don't care if I'm not allowed, it's only us anyways.'' Santana said as she moved closer to the blonde who was now changing into her clothes for the day. '' You are so beautiful.'' Santana said as she reached Brittany and took her into her arms.
'' Your beautiful too San, you always were.'' Brittany replied staring into the Latina's deep brown eyes.
'' I love you Britt.'' Santana started.
'' And I love you.'' Brittany finished, as she wrapped her arms around the Latina's neck and kissed her, hard. The two kissed passionately for what seemed like only seconds but was really minutes.
'' Yum.'' Brittany huffed out, her breath short. That comment only made the Latina laugh.
'' Now hurry up B, so we can get out of here.'' Santana said as she let her girlfriend go so she could get dressed.
Brittany walked over by her locker and slipped on the pair of jeans she had brought and also a white tank top, her outfit was so simple that it made her look even more beautiful. '' You know San, I've been thinking.'' The blonde started the conversation she wanted to have for quite some time.
'' Thinking about what B?'' The Latina asked.
'' About children.'' Brittany admitted. At the sound of the word children Santana's heart skipped a beat. Santana wanted children, just not right at this moment. At the sound of Santana's silence Brittany continued. '' And how I want us to have one.'' The blonde added.
'' We are soo not talking about it here.'' Santana said.
'' But San!'' Brittany whined as she finished getting ready and put her hockey bag over her shoulder.
'' We'll talk about it, just not right now.'' Santana spit out as she held the blondes hand and walked out of the changing room.
'' You promise?'' Brittany asked.
'' I promise.'' Santana confirmed as the two girls walked out of the arena and into the rest of their lives.
