They entered the room where everyone else was "Hey girls" Quinn announced as the girls to them "Rachel and I have something to announce, Rachel and I are"
"In a relationship we know already" Santana spoke up
"But…how…I mean" Quinn stuttered
"Well first off the bathrooms in here are not that thick so we heard your whole conversation, and two we kind of figured with the way you two have been acting around each other" Rachel and Quinn stood there with their jaws wide open
"We were trying to keep it a secret so as not to ruin your wedding Santana" Rachel said
"Hey I don't care about that I'm just glad you're finally getting together with Quinn. I mean we all kind of figured it was going to happen sooner or later" Santana said getting up from where she sat and walking towards Quinn and Rachel "I'm happy for you two I really am but if you make me late for my wedding I'm going to retrieve Snixx from her cage and go all Lima Heights on you two" Rachel laughed as Santana hugged her and Quinn "Now come on you two get your make up on so we can get down to the hall before the photographer calls me again" Santana said as Rachel sat down in front of Tina and Quinn in front of Mercedes as they got their make up applied.
Two hours later they were at the hall getting ready to watch Santana and Brittany get married Rachel, Quinn, and the rest stood at the alter waiting for Santana and Brittany to join them. Santana came out first as her dad walked her down the aisle and Brittany followed a minute later being led by her father. Rachel couldn't contain her grin as she stood behind Santana. Glancing over to the blonde who stood behind Brittany who smiled back winking. The minister started the ceremony but the four of them really didn't seem to notice. Santana seemed so lost in Brittany's eyes it started to bring a tear to the Latina's eye. It wasn't until Sam let out a cough from behind Rachel that she realized that Santana was supposed to say her vows and she softly nudged Santana to get her attention. Santana blushed and smiled at Brittany as she took a deep breath
"Britt" she started "I love you more than life itself. You came into my life so long ago but it felt as though it was yesterday. I promise from this day forward to love and cherish you until the day I die and forever more after that I love you Brittany Susan Pierce and I'm so happy and proud that I get to be your wife" Santana finished as Brittany wiped a tear that was shamelessly falling down Santana's face mouthing "I love you" before searching her head for the vows she had memorized
"Santana I always thought that maybe we wouldn't end up here, that you were afraid or stubborn to want to marry me but then I thought about how we first met each other. First Cheerios practice freshman year how our eyes met at our lockers. I realized that day that you loved me the same way you love me now, the only thing that has changed is that we get to share our love with all our friends and family unashamed and proud. I love you so much Santana and even if you forget sometime I'll remind you whenever I can" Santana smiled and kissed Brittany's hand
"Well I guess all we need now are the rings" The minister said as Rachel handed Santana Brittany's ring and Quinn handed Brittany Santana's ring "Santana place the ring on Brittany's hand and repeat after me with this ring I thee wed" The minister said and Santana slowly slipped the ring on Brittany's shaking and repeated through
"With this ring I thee wed" Santana half sobbed
"And Brittany placed the ring on Santana's hand and repeat after me with this ring I thee wed" he repeated for Brittany. After fumbling and almost dropping the ring Brittany slid the ring onto Santana's hand and repeated
"With this ring I finally thee wed" Brittany said as the guests in the room laughed
"I now pronounce you joined forever in marriage and Santana you may kiss your bride" he finished as Santana dipped Brittany back and kissed her with more fierceness than she could handle as the guests cheered and Artie and Mike whooped. Santana and Brittany parted and smiled as the turned to walk back up the aisle followed by their friends
"Congratulations you two" Rachel said hugging them
"Thanks Rachel maybe one day you and Quinn will be up there" Brittany said as Rachel and Quinn blushed
"I don't think so Britt" Quinn said "at least not yet" she smiled grabbing Rachel's hand.
After pictures they were all seated eating the food that was served, Rachel whispered to Quinn who nodded her head and stood up clinking her fork against her champagne glass
"As one of the maids of honor Rachel and I want to give you two a gift. When we were in glee club together we never really expressed what we were feeling in a speech, we did it in song and Rachel and I both agreed that you two deserve a song. Rachel took Brittany's hand while Quinn took Santana's leading them to the dance floor where they left them to join the band grabbing microphones
"This one is for you Santana and Brittany, we love you both so much and hope that you two stay happy for the rest of your lives" Rachel said beaming at the couple
From this moment life has begun
From this moment you are the one
Right beside you is where I belong
From this moment on
From this moment I have been blessed
I live only for your happiness
And for you love I'd give my last breath
From this moment on
I give my hand to you with all my heart
Can't wait to live my life with you, can't wait to start
You and I will never be apart
My dreams came true because of you
From this moment as long as I live
I will love you, I promise this
There is nothing I wouldn't give
From this moment
You're the reason I believe in love
And you're the answer to my prayers from up above
All we need is just the two of us
My dreams came true because of you
From this moment as long as I live
I will love you, I promise you this
There is nothing I wouldn't give
From this moment
I will love you as I live
From this moment on
As they finished Brittany was passionately kissing Santana as if they were the only ones in the room. Rachel jokingly coughed into the mic to get their attention. They separated and Santana blushed kissing Brittany on the cheek as they made their way back to their table. Quinn and Rachel followed them and Quinn whispered into Rachel's ear that she needed to use the bathroom; Rachel nodded and continued the conversation she was having with Tina. Quinn made her way to the bathroom stopping feeling a presence behind her
"Are you drunk again Finn?" Quinn asked not turning around
"No I'm not" Finn answered and Quinn turned around rolling her eyes "I saw what you and Rachel just did up there and it me realize that Rachel is happy" Finn said staring at Quinn "You make her happy more than I ever could and I was an asshole to react the way I did. I just thought that it was my job to make her happy when we were together and somewhere along the way I forgot that" Finn finished
"I'm really sorry you had to find out the way you did" Quinn apologized "we wanted to wait and tell you" Finn nodded
"I kind of figured that," Finn smiled. Quinn returned the smile as Rachel came up behind Finn
"Everything okay?" she asked fearful eyes darting between the two
"Everything is fine" Quinn said "But I think I've denied my bladder long enough so excuse me" Quinn chuckled ducking into the bathroom before mouthing "its okay" to Rachel. She turned to Finn trying not to cry
"Finn" Rachel started before being cut off by Finn
"No" he started "I acted like a complete asshole and I came back to apologize" Finn apologized "Its just I got jealous that in the short time you have reunited with Quinn you are happier than you ever were with me and it hurt me because I know how upset and lonely you were when she left" Finn sighed and leaned against the wall
"I know Finn" Rachel said "I really wish that it wasn't that way, and that we could have been married have 3 kids and a house overlooking Times Square, but we just stopped working even before Quinn left and I think we were just fooling ourselves into thinking that getting married would fix it. I love you Finn and always will but I think it's better for you to finally let me go" Rachel inched closer and ran her hand over his cheek
"I want you to find true love with whoever makes you happy Rachel" Finn said
"Me too" Rachel said "Even if it's with Wendy" she finished laughing
"I don't think things are going to pan out with Wendy, I sent her home this morning after we broke up" Finn smiled
"You broke up with her?" Rachel asked incredulously
"Yeah I just don't dig on chicks who go and tattle on my friends who she swore to keep their secret for" Finn smiled
Quinn stepped out of the bathroom and stood back quietly as Finn and Rachel made up. Ste stared at Rachel, she had such a big heart and it made Quinn's heart swell for the care that Rachel had for Finn
"You two going to be alright now?" Quinn asked as she stood next to Rachel who took her hand
"I think so" Rachel said with hopeful eyes and Finn nodded his head
"I better go now" Finn said as he turned to leave
"Please stay" Quinn said
"What about Santana?" Finn asked
"I don't think she'll protest" Quinn said "besides I haven't danced with you in years" she finished pulling Finn out to the dance floor where everyone else was. Rachel joined them as Jessie grabbed her from behind and began to twirl her around the dance floor
"Everything okay with him now?" Jessie asked as he pulled her close
"Yeah I think he's going to be just fine now" Rachel beamed as Finn dipped Quinn
Ten minutes later tired, sore, and sweaty from dancing Rachel pulled away from Quinn and sat down at one of the tables. Taking her shoes off and rubbing her aching feet she propped them up on a nearby chair. She was suddenly joined by an unexpected companion
"Hey Rachel" Sue said as she grabbed her own seat
"Hey Coach Sylvester" Rachel smiled
"I haven't been anyone's coach in years" Sue smiled "I think you can call me Sue" she finished and Rachel smiled, she glanced over as Quinn who was sitting in Artie's lap as he twirled around in a circle "She's beautiful isn't she?" Sue asked and Rachel nodded her head trying to hide the blush that crept up on her cheeks
"Gorgeous" she answered
"You know I always figured that you two would end up together one day" Sue smiled "I would always tell Quinn when I heard picking on you that one day she would feel different"
"Really?" Rachel asked
"Yeah, I know in High School I tortured you glee club kids, but I always had a soft spot for you Rachel. I knew that you would make something of yourself and we would all be lucky to have known you when you were just Rachel Berry annoying High School diva" Rachel smiled
"You know in all the years that we've known each other I figured that you hated me" Rachel said "But now I know that you were always looking out for me and I appreciate that" Sue smiled and put a hand on one of Rachel's legs
"Just take good care of her Rachel I know you've had a rough couple of years but she's had her heart broken too and I don't know if I could handle either of you getting hurt again" She said as she left Rachel to sit there and watch Quinn who was being approached by Santana
"Care to dance?" Santana asked holding out her hand
"Are you sure I wouldn't want to keep you from your bride" Quinn responded
"She's dancing with Mr. Schuester, I think I can dance with my best friend for a while" Santana answered as she pulled Quinn out on the floor and put her arms around her
"So how does it feel to be a married woman?" Quinn asked
"Honestly this is the happiest moment of my life" Santana answered
"Well just treat her right and I won't have to track you down" Quinn joked
"Well I can say the same for you and Berry" Santana nodded as they caught sight of Rachel who was sipping on champagne "She's been through a lot Quinn and I don't think she could handle anymore heartbreak"
"Whoa, when did you start caring so much for Rachel?" Quinn laughed
"Let's just say after you left we grew closer" Santana answered "Even more after her break up with Finn"
"I know thing didn't end so well with Finn but I promise I'll never break her heart" Quinn said taking a serious tone
"I'll hold you to that" Santana smiled as the song ended
Many hours later Rachel and Quinn made their way back to their hotel room exhausted and slightly drunk,
"I don't think I'll be able to move for a month" Rachel said as she collapsed on the bed
"Me neither" Quinn answered falling next to her on the bed
"I just say we go to sleep no getting undressed or dressed in our pajamas" Rachel said rolling over on her side towards Quinn
"As much as I'd love to honey these dresses do have to go back to the designers when we get back, so how about a compromise we'll take the dresses off but we sleep nude" Quinn finished as her eyes twinkled
"I like compromise" Rachel laughed and stood to pull Quinn to her feet. Quinn started to undress but Rachel stopped her. Grabbing the zipper to her dress Rachel pulled it down slowly kissing the back of Quinn's neck as the dress pooled on the floor. She blew on her ear as she undid her bra slipped off her underwear and let them join the dress on the floor
"A girl might get used to this" Quinn blushed as she saw the lustful look in Rachel's eyes. She kissed Rachel feverishly and Rachel broke away from Quinn
"I think we should stop this before we do something" Rachel said searching for the correct word
"Naughty?" Quinn filled in the blanks raising an eyebrow
"That's a way to put it" Rachel laughed
"Turn around baby I feel that you're way too overdressed" Quinn whispered as Rachel did as she was told. She slid Rachel's zipper down with her lips following in its wake. She turned Rachel around as she slipped the dress off and kissed her passionately as she moved her hand behind her back undoing her bra clasp with one hand. Rachel's eyes opened out of shock of the feeling of her breasts being freed so suddenly and her panties joined the growing pile. "Come on baby lets go to bed" Quinn said her lighting up as the sight of Rachel's naked body greeted her. Rachel reluctantly let her go as they both climbed in bed. As they both climbed in Rachel reached over to Quinn bringing her body closer to her
"I think its time I play the big spoon tonight" Rachel laughed as Quinn settled into her arms "Are you going to come with me tomorrow when I tell Kurt and Blaine?" Rachel asked nuzzling her nose into Quinn's neck
"Do you want me to?" Quinn asked turning her head to look at Rachel's face
"You're a part of my life now Quinn" Rachel smiled "Of course I want you there; I just don't know how I'm going to tell them thought. I cant go up to them and say hi I'm going to let you use my uterus for nine months so lets get that turkey baster ready" Quinn laughed "It's not funny" Rachel defended
"Just sit them down and tell them straight forward" Quinn reasoned. Rachel chewed on her bottom lip for a bit "It will be okay, I'll be with you every step" Quinn said squeezing Rachel's arms
"Thank you" Rachel smiled squeezing her in a hug. A few minutes later Rachel heard Quinn softly snoring, Rachel kissed the side of her head and Quinn snuggled in deeper as Rachel closed her eyes and fell asleep
