CHAPTER 3
"Oh my god Santana this is insane!" Quinn beams as they walk into the Las Vegas penthouse suite that Santana booked for them. Santana had been planning this joint bachelorette trip ever since Quinn asked her to plan the bachelorette party. Quinn assumed that Santana would just throw them a party in Lima but Santana insisted they go to Vegas.
The group consisted of Tina, Brittany, Kurt, Blaine, Mike, Artie and Mercedes, all of whom were amazed by the size of the penthouse suite.
"Santana you shouldn't have this is too much!" Rachel insisted.
"Hey none of that, my best friend is getting married and I'm going to make sure she has only the best." Santana insists. Quinn walks over to Santana and embraces her in a big hug.
"Alright alright, we will have enough time at the wedding for all the love and sentimental stuff but today is all about getting drunk and showing Quinn and Rachel the best night of their lives." Santana pulls out of her hug with Quinn and walks over to the bar were glasses of champagne were all lined up.
"Everyone grab a glass so we can make a toast." Everyone rushes over and grabs a glass of champagne off the bar.
"To Quinn and Rachel, we all knew that you guys would get here at some point. Probably before the both of you knew. We are all so happy that you two finally found love with each other. Tonight all of your friends are here to celebrate the love you two have that we all wish to have one day, cheers to Quinn and Rachel!" Santana lifts up her glass and the rest of the group follows suit.
"Cheers!" They echo, clinking their glasses against one another. They all take a sip of their champagne.
"Can we tour the rest of the suite now, I'm dying to see what the rest of this place looks like!" Tina asks excitedly.
"Of course, I already assigned everyone a room your names will be on the doors." The group runs away to find where they would be sleeping at for the next two days and to explore the rest of the suite.
Mercedes doesn't run off like the rest of her friends but slowly makes her way to find the room with her name on it. Mercedes was happy to be in Vegas with her friends but she didn't like being away from her daughter for long. Today was the first time in a very long time that she was so far away from Aliyah.
Santana notice that Mercedes wasn't as happy as everyone else so she decided to see what was on her mind.
"Hey Mercedes." Santana walks up beside her ex-girlfriend.
"Oh hey Santana."
"Here I'll show you to your room, it's right beside mine."
"Thanks."
They walk down the hall and Santana guides Mercedes to her room.
"Here you are."
"Thank you." Mercedes opens the door to her private room.
"Uhm Mercedes are you okay? You seem like there is something on your mind."
"I just miss Aliyah, I'm not use to being this far away from her."
"Hey we will be back in two days and Aliyah is with your mom so she is in great hands. Just try to enjoy this trip, it's not often that all of us get together and after the wedding everyone will be going their separate ways again."
"You're right San, I'm just going to call her real quick and after that my attention will be solely on having fun with my friends."
"Great, say hi to Aliyah for me."
"I will."
Mercedes walks into her room and gets on her cellphone and calls her mom to talk to Aliyah. After talking to her mom and daughter, Mercedes felt better and was ready to fully enjoy the rest of the trip.
Later that afternoon the group goes downstairs to a pool party that was being thrown for the hotel guests.
Everyone was in their bikinis and swim trunks dancing around the pool while the drinks were constantly flowing.
"I'm having such a great time, this place is so amazing! Santana Lopez you definitely know how to plan a bachelorette party! Whenever Blaine and I decide to get married I'm definitely calling you!" Kurt and Blaine flop down on the chairs inside the pool gazebo.
"Santana Lopez at your service." Santana raises her glass of champagne in the air.
"Guys look who I ran into." Mercedes walks over holding hands with an old member of glee club.
"Oh my god Sam!" Brittany jumps out of the pool and jumps into Sam's arms.
"Hey guys." Sam says squeezing Brittany then putting her back down on the ground.
"Rachel and Quinn I'm so sorry I couldn't make it back to Lima on time. I had some business to handle in Europe for one of my clients."
"Sam it's fine we understand you are busy, we are just glad you are here now." Quinn speaks from her spot in the lounge chair with Rachel resting between her legs.
"I would get up and hug you but I'm just so comfortable right now." Rachel says enjoying the weather and her soon to be wife.
"No worries." Sam responds.
"So Sam, how is life as the biggest sport agent in the country. I follow you on Instagram and it seems like you are having the time of your life." Mike Chang asks his old classmate and friend.
"Yeah man life is great but it would be nice to have someone to travel with. I'm traveling all over the world, seeing all of these beautiful countries and I have no one to share it all with." Sam subtly looks over at Mercedes and Santana quickly begins to feel uneasy.
Sam and Mercedes were almost a couple in high school but then Mercedes started crushing on Santana and then they soon begin dating. Santana never really liked Sam, she always felt that Sam thought of Mercedes as the one that got away. The way he was staring at Mercedes now confirmed what Santana always assumed.
"Don't worry Sam you will found someone soon, you are a great catch and any girl would be lucky to find someone like you. I mean you're are good looking, successful, funny and the list goes on." Mercedes tells Sam.
"Thank you Mercedes, I hope so." Sam winks at her and Santana was now really irritated with what she perceived as flirting between Sam and Mercedes.
"Also don't forget those big froggy lips, I think it's one of your best attributes Trouty Mouth.
"Santana play nice." Quinn warns.
"Well hello Santana, I forgot you were going to be here." Sam plays dumb.
"It's my best friend's wedding Sam, of course I would be here." Santana pulls her shades down to cover her eyes.
"With you being this big Hollywood star I didn't think you would have time in your busy schedule to come back to Lima."
"I always make time for the people I care about."
"Well it's good to see you again Santana."
"I'm sure it is." Santana leans back on her chair, no longer interested in going back and forth with Sam.
"Anyway Mercedes how long are you going to be back in Lima?" Sam turns his attention back to Mercedes.
"I'm here for good, I will begin teaching at Mckinley in August so this is my home for good again."
"That's great, I'm going to be staying in Lima for a couple of weeks visiting my family so maybe we could hang out."
"Yeah of course, we have a lot of catching up to do."
"Awesome." Sam responds happily.
"I'm going to the bar to get something to drink anyone want anything?" Santana stands up from her chair, she wanted to curse Sam out for flirting with Mercedes but it wasn't anything she could do anymore. Mercedes was no longer her girlfriend but it didn't stop her from being upset about it.
"I'll take another beer." Mike requests.
"I would like a beer as well Santana." Sam says and Santana rolls her eyes.
"I'll be right back." Santana says getting up from chair and walking over to the bar setup outside by the pool.
"Can I get two beers please." Santana asks the bartender.
"Coming right up." The young bartender responds.
"Sam already getting on your nerves?" Blaine comes up beside Santana and leans against the bar.
"Is it that easy to tell?"
"You've never been good at hiding your emotions Santana."
"Yeah I guess you're right."
"What's taking you so long?" Blaine asks.
"What are you talking about." Santana questions.
"Santana Lopez we've been at the pool for two hours now and you haven't made any moves on Mercedes. No flirting, no dancing, and you've barely talked to her."
Santana sighs. "I don't know, Mercedes and I are in a very delicate place right now and I don't want to do anything to mess things up."
"I understand that but if you wait too long someone else might sweep her off her feet. Sam sure isn't wasting any time." Santana looks over at the gazebo and sees Sam dancing with Mercedes and by now he'd taken his shirt off. Both Sam and Mercedes had big smiles on their faces and seemed to be having the time of their lives as they swayed back in forth to the music.
"Look you take the beers back over to them, I'm going up to the room."
"Santana don't leave."
"I can't look at that Blaine, I'll see you guys back at the room. Just tell them I wasn't feeling well or something." Santana leaves before Blaine can respond and runs up to the suite.
Santana waited in her room for the group to return and before she knew it she had fallen asleep. Santana is woken up when she feels someone nudging her in the shoulder. She rolls over to find Mercedes sitting at the edge of her bed holding a glass of ginger ale in her hand.
"Blaine said you weren't feeling well so I brought you some ginger ale to help settle your stomach."
"Thanks, you didn't need to come all the way up here for that." Santana sits up in the bed and lays her back against the headboard. She takes the ginger ale from Mercedes and takes a sip.
"I wanted to make sure you were okay."
"I'm fine now, I just needed to rest for a little bit."
"Well we all missed you down there."
"You seemed to be having plenty of fun without me."
"What's that supposed to mean?" Mercedes seemed confused by what Santana was talking about.
"I'm just saying it looked like you and Sam were having a really good time."
"Yeah, we all were..at least I thought so."
"Oh I was having fun until Sam showed up and I had to watch you two drool all over each other."
"What, is that why you left?"
"Yes, l saw the way you two were looking at each other. It was like high school all over again."
Santana crossed her arms over her chest.
"First off I was not flirting with Sam I was just happy to see him and we were just dancing. Second if I remember correctly I picked you in high school. Third Santana we are not together so you can't dictate who I do anything with."
"All of that may be true but I wouldn't flirt with someone right in your face knowing the history we have!" Santana stands up to walk away becoming angry with her ex-girlfriend but Mercedes stops her.
"I wasn't flirting with him, we were just dancing and having fun but I'm sorry if it looked that way."
"You may not of been flirting with him but Trouty Mouth was definitely flirting with you."
"Maybe but it means nothing because I don't have feelings for Sam."
"Fine." Santana sits back on the bed.
"I think it's cute when your jealous." Mercedes teases Santana.
"I'm not jealous I just think it's disrespectful for Sam to be flirting with you right in front of my face."
"If you say so but can you just stop being so grumpy now so we can all enjoy this trip together."
"I'll see what I can do." Santana says. Mercedes smiles and gets off the bed heading out the door.
Santana sits thinking about what Blaine had said earlier. If she waited too long someone else would come in and sweep Mercedes up before she even had a chance. Santana didn't want to mess up their friendship by trying to pursue a relationship with Mercedes too soon but she could at least try and test the waters to see where Mercedes head was at. So Santana decided that she was no longer going to play it safe, if she wanted her girl back she had to fight for her.
LATER THAT NIGHT
Around 10:30pm the group leaves the hotel and is picked up by a stretch Limo that takes them to Vegas hottest nightclub. The owner of the club greets them in the front and escorts them to their VIP booth where bottles of champagne was already waiting for them. Sam sits next to Mercedes so Santana sits on the other side of her. All of them begin drinking and enjoying the music having the time of their life. Santana partied with her friends making sure that Quinn and Rachel were having fun before she decided to make her move.
"Mercedes you want to go to the dance floor?" Santana asks Mercedes, she wasn't going to let Sam beat her to it this time.
"Of course, let's go." Mercedes quickly answers, kind of surprised that Santana actually asked her to dance after what happened earlier.
Santana takes Mercedes hand and escorts her to the dance floor, she looks back and sees everyone in the group smiling except for Sam.
Once they get to the dance floor the song changes to a slow hip hop song. Santana stands behind Mercedes and wraps her around her waist while Mercedes moved her hips to the beat of the song.
They rock back and forth to the music, grinding their bodies into each other. They sway to the music Santana keeping a hold of Mercedes by her hips. Mercedes bends over and begins to slowly grind her body into Santana along with the song. Santana was doing her best to keep her herself from getting too excited, she didn't want to make Mercedes uncomfortable by poking her with her boner. It was getting hard for Santana to control with the way Mercedes body was moving against her.
Santana turns Mercedes around in her arms so that they were now face to face. Santana pulls Mercedes body in closer to hers and rest her hands just above Mercedes ass. Santana didn't know if it was the alcohol or the song but Mercedes reaches behind her and puts Santana's hands on her ass. Santana couldn't keep her boner down and she knew Mercedes could feel it up against her but she didn't seem to mind. Santana felt completely comfortable that she didn't have to hold back any longer and her hands begin to travel over Mercedes body as they danced to the music. At this point it was as if the dance floor had cleared and they were the only two left in the club. Both Santana and Mercedes were in daze only focusing on each other.
"Mercedes." Santana whispers into Mercedes ear, her lips brushing against her earlobe.
"Yes." Mercedes answers.
"I want you." Santana whispers back as they continued to sway to the music.
"We can't San." Mercedes answers in a low whisper but the way her hands were touching Santana it told a different story.
"Why not?"
"Because I'm scared."
"I promise I won't ever hurt you again Cedes." Santana answered honestly.
"You hurt me so badly before I'm scared to trust you again." Santana and Mercedes were having a honest and sensual conversation in the middle of the crowded dance floor. To them the club was empty and it was just the two of them having an open and honest conversation.
"Give me a chance to earn your trust back Cedes, I want to be there for you and our daughter." Santana talked as she put her hands back on Mercedes hips, moving to the music.
"What if doesn't work out again."
"But what if it does Cedes, we both want and need each other." Santana pulls Mercedes in closer to her so that there was no space in between them.
"Let me take care of you tonight, your body is practically calling my name." Santana presses Mercedes up against her so she could feel how hard her dick was in her dress. Mercedes softly moans at the feeling of Santana's member up against her.
Mercedes was about to respond but someone bumped into them bringing them out of their little bubble.
"Oh sorry guys I didn't even see you there." Santana rolls her eyes when she sees that it's Sam who bumped into them.
"Yeah I'm sure you didn't Sam." Santana says with an attitude.
"It's okay I need something to drink anyway." Mercedes says as she hurries off the dance floor. Santana follows behind her bumping Sam with her shoulder as she rushes past him.
Mercedes disappears in the crowd of the packed club so Santana decides to run off to the bathroom. She didn't want the whole club to see the huge boner poking through her dress. As Santana was walking down the hall to the bathroom she sees Mercedes leaning against the wall with her head down. Santana walks over to see if everything was okay with Mercedes.
"Mercedes, are you okay? I'm sorry if things got a little out of hands on the dance floor but I thoug-."
Santana wasn't able to finish her sentence before Mercedes threw her against the wall and begin kissing her. Santana was shocked at first but quickly begin to kiss Mercedes back. The kiss was rough and passionate, five years of love, regret, and frustration poured into this kiss. Santana backs Mercedes into the opposite wall and begins to kiss her neck and runs her hands up and down Mercedes body. Mercedes moans as she feels Santana tongue and hands on her body.
"Wait..Santana wait " Mercedes gently pushes Santana off of her.
"Sorry..do you want to stop, did I go too far?" Santana asks breathing heavily.
"No..let's finish this back in my room."
Back at the suite they waste no time once they are in Mercedes room. Santana begins to help Mercedes take off her shoes and dress and she does the same. Santana brings Mercedes in for another kiss then they fall back onto the bed. Mercedes opens her mouth to let Santana's tongue slide inside and they begin to massage their tongues together. Santana breaks from the kiss and begins licking and sucking on Mercedes neck causing her to moan. Santana reaches behind Mercedes and unhooks her bra with one hand and Mercedes helps her take off the bra. Mercedes throws her bra to the side and Santana's dick gets hard as a rock when she looks down at Mercedes big breast and hard nipples. Santana goes down and wraps her mouth around Mercedes nipples and begins licking and sucking them. Mercedes moans out in pleasure at the feeling of Santana warm mouth on her nipples.
"God San!" The sound of Mercedes moaning her name again was the best thing Santana heard in years and all she wanted was to hear that sound over and over again.
Santana begins to work her way down Mercedes body until she reached Mercedes panties. She slowly slides them off and sees how wet and ready Mercedes was for her. Santana wastes no time as she begins to perform oral sex on Mercedes.
Mercedes moans out in pleasure as Santana licked and sucked on her clit, giving her the most pleasure she's felt in a very long time.
"Oh my God San! So good!" Mercedes yells digging her fingers through Santana's long black hair.
"Please don't stop!" Mercedes yells out. Santana continues to pleasure Mercedes with her tongue not stopping until she heard those magic words.
"Oh Yes..Yes..I'm I'm Cumming!" Mercedes body begins to shake as a strong orgasm runs through her body.
Santana comes up for air once Mercedes came down from orgasm. She gives Mercedes a kiss so that she could taste herself on her tongue. The couple kiss for a minute or so before Mercedes whispers in Santana ears for her to stand up and take off her boxers. Santana does exactly that, she stands at the edge of the bed and pulls her boxers down. When she looks up she sees Mercedes looking at her as if she was a snack.
"It's still as big as I remember." Mercedes stares at Santana's fully erect 8 inch penis. Santana laughs at Mercedes comment. She gets back on the bed and lays on top of Mercedes. They begin to passionately kiss, exploring the others mouth. Santana breaks the kiss and reaches over and grabs a condom out of her purse that was on the nightstand. She quickly slides it on using one hand.
"Are you sure you want to do this?" She asks Mercedes one last time.
"San, I want you inside me." That was all Santana needed to hear. She slowly guides the tip of her dick inside Mercedes and she hears Mercedes gasp at the feeling. Once Santana was confident that Mercedes was comfortable with the tip she slide the rest of her dick inside.
"Damn Cedes you are tight as hell." Santana grunts as she slowly moved her dick in and out of Mercedes vagina.
"Oh San keep going." Mercedes moans as Santana thrust in and out of her. Santana thrusts in out of Mercedes slowly, not going faster or harder until Mercedes told her too.
"Oh Yes faster San!" Once Mercedes gave Santana the green light, Santana begin to thrust harder and faster inside Mercedes pussy.
"Oh Yes San..Don't stop!" Mercedes cries out as Santana slams her dick inside of her over and over again creating a rhythm. Santana starts pounding harder into Mercedes and it drives Mercedes crazy. She starts yelling out coherent and incoherent words. The most of what Santana can make out is Mercedes telling her how good it feels and telling her not to stop.
"Damn Cedes, your so fucking tight!" Santana yells as she feels Mercedes pussy gripping her dick. Santana takes Mercedes hands and place them above her head interlocking their fingers together as she thrusts her lower body into Mercedes pussy.
"Oh Yes baby!" Mercedes moans out and Santana's dick twitches inside her hearing Mercedes call her baby. This prompted Santana to go even harder pounding and thrusting her shaft in and out of Mercedes pussy.
Santana switches position so that now Mercedes was on top of her riding her dick. Mercedes throws her head back in ecstasy as she feels every inch of Santana deeper inside of her. Santana sits up with Mercedes in her lap bouncing her up and down on her dick. Both of them were getting closer to their own orgasms.
"Baby I'm so close!" Mercedes yells out as she feels her orgasm approaching.
"Oh God Cedes, come for me!" Mercedes body obeyed on command as she came on Santana's dick. Burying her fingers deep inside Santana back as a strong orgasm ripped through her body all the while Mercedes yelling Santana's name at the top of her lungs. Santana no longer able to hold it in comes instantaneously as she felt Mercedes pussy clenching down hard on her dick.
They rode the orgasms out together rocking back and forth until both of their bodies collapse on the bed.
Mercedes rolls over so that she was laying next to Santana, both of them trying desperately to catch their breaths.
"Oh my god that was incredible." Santana pants as she lays back on the pillows. Mercedes comes over and lays down on Santana's chest. Santana couldn't believe the situation she was in right now. She had just made love to the love of her life after five years apart.
"Are we really going to give this another chance?" Mercedes asks softly, rubbing circles on Santana's toned stomach.
"I really hope so, I know I broke your heart before but I swear I will never hurt you again." Santana declared.
"Why did you break my heart in the first place? I thought we were so happy, we had so many plans for our future."
"I was happy Mercedes, you made me so fucking happy but I was young and dumb. I was willing to do anything to make my dreams come true without thinking about what it would cost me. I just need you to believe me when I say that I am so sorry for what I put you through. I am willing to do anything I can to make you mine again because I am still completely in love with you." Santana speaks honestly hoping to convince Mercedes that she was being sincere.
Mercedes lifts her head off Santana's chest and looks her directly in the eyes. "I'm completely in love with you too San."
"Really?"
"Yes and I'm willing to give you another chance not just for me but for our daughter as well."
Santana grabs Mercedes by the back of her head and pulls her in for a deep passionate kiss that leaves both of them smiling.
"But I still want to take things slow, it's been five years and we have a lot of things to learn about each other."
"I'm all for taking things slow as long as I get to be with you."
"That means waiting to tell Aliyah that we are together."
"Okay that makes sense."
"And as much as I enjoyed tonight, having sex is not taking things slow so we should probably hold off on that too."
"Are you serious?"
"I'm very serious, plus your going back to LA so it's not like we will even be able to see each other that much for the next couple of months anyway."
"Fuck I forgot I have to go back to LA after the wedding."
"Yeah you have a life to get back to superstar."
"Ugh. I don't want to leave you and Aliyah." Santana pulls Mercedes down on top of her.
"I don't want you to leave either but we both still have lives and jobs we have to get back to."
"I know but it's not going to be easy."
"It may not be easy but it will be worth it." Mercedes says. Santana smiles then leans over for another kiss which Mercedes welcome. Santana and Mercedes fall asleep that night in each other's arms, both completely happy to be back together again.
TWO DAYS LATER
Today was Quinn and Rachel's wedding day and the church was already packed with friends and family all there to support Quinn and Rachel as they tied the knot.
Santana pours Quinn a glass of champagne because Quinn was a nervous wreck pacing back and forth in the dressing room. The boys Mike, Artie, and Sam waited outside the dressing for Quinn to come out. Any minute now it will be time for Mr. Shue to walk Quinn down the aisle.
"Here drink some of this, calm them nerves down a little." Santana hands the glass to Quinn who happily accepts, she had been a nervous wreck all day.
"Thanks San." Quinn takes a big gulp of the champagne finishing the whole glass. "I can't believe I'm really about to get married."
"Yes you are, you are about to get married to the love of your life in front of everyone who loves and cares deeply for the both of you." Santana interlaces her hand with Quinn's free hand. "I am so happy for you Quinn, Rachel truly loves you."
"Thank you San, I love her too. I just hope I don't screw this up, Judy and Russell weren't exactly the greatest role models for what a happy and loving marriage looks like." Quinn says looking down at the floor sadly.
"Hey look at me." Santana puts a finger under Quinn's chin and lifts up her head so that Quinn was looking her directly in the eyes.
"You are going to be an exceptional wife Q. You and Rachel are going to have an exceptional life and raise exceptional kids. Don't you doubt that for a second. Today is the beginning of the rest of your life."
"I love you San." Quinn brings Santana in closer and embraces her in a hug.
"I love you too Q."
Santana pulls out of the embrace. "Alright let's save on this mushy talk for later, I still have to give my speech at the reception." Quinn laughs, she knew Santana didn't show this side of herself often but she was doing it for her.
They hear a soft knock on the door and Brittany walks over to open it, she opens the door and standing on the other side is Mr. Shue looking handsome in a white tuxedo.
"Time to get this show on the road ladies, it's time to get Quinn married!"
Quinn and Rachel have a beautiful wedding in front of their family and friends. There was not a dry eye in the church and after it was all said and done Quinn and Rachel Fabray were officially wife and wife.
The reception was in full swing as the dj played music throughout the reception hall. Family and friends were socializing and reminiscing about old times while others piled onto the dance floor. Santana had just finished giving an emotional maid of honor speech and now she was trying to find Mercedes and Aliyah. She spots them but unfortunately Mercedes mom was there also. Santana was dreading going over now because she knew Mercedes mom probably hated her guts but she had to face her one day so why not now.
"Hey everyone." Santana said once she walks up to the them.
"Tana!" Aliyah yells in excitement. She runs over to hug Santana who sweeps her daughter up in her arms.
"Hello pretty girl."
"I missed you!"
"I missed you more!" Santana gives her a quick kiss on the cheek.
"Hello Janet it's been a long time."
Santana acknowledges Mercedes mom who was looking at her in disgust.
"Santana I prefer if you would call me Mrs. Jones and it hasn't been long enough." If looks could kill, Santana wouldn't of stood a chance against Mrs. Jones.
"Mom." Mercedes says in a warning tone.
"Don't mom me Mercedes Jones, you didn't expect me to welcome her with open arms after what she did to you."
"Mom please not in front of Aliyah." Mercedes didn't think it was the time or place, Quinn and Rachel just got married it was supposed to be a happy and loving day.
"Mrs. Jones I know what I did to Mercedes was terrible and I don't expect you to like me but Aliyah is my daughter too so I'm going to be around. So we are going to have to at least be cordial with each other." Santana says trying to be the bigger person.
"I don't have to do anything Santana but I will try to keep my negative comments about you to myself whenever Aliyah is around."
"That's fine." Santana simply states because obviously she wasn't going to change her mind any time soon.
'Mercedes I'm going to head home now, tell Quinn and Rachel that the ceremony was beautiful. I will call you tomorrow." Mrs. Jones leans over and gives Mercedes a kiss on her cheeks before reaching over and doing the same to Aliyah.
"Bye Gma!"
"Goodbye sweetie, I love you."
"I love you too Gma!"
Before Mrs. Jones could turn and leaves she notices Sam walking towards them.
"Sam Evans look at how handsome you are, come over here and give me a hug." Sam walks up with a huge smile on his face and engulfs Mrs. Jones in a big hug. Santana rolls her eyes, irritated by Sam's presence once again.
"Mrs. Jones it's been so long, you still look as beautiful as I remember."
"Oh Sam don't be so formal, call me Janet. How have you been?" Santana just wanted to walk away from this conversation but she didn't want to give Sam the satisfaction of knowing he got to her once again. So she just stands there with Aliyah in her arms as Sam and Mercedes mom talked back and forth.
"I've been really great, the agency is still thriving and I just signed a new client about a week ago. Life is going really good for me right now."
"That's good to hear, I always knew you were going to be successful."
"You probably were the only one that thought so, I was a little clueless in high school."
"That's alright because look at you now, a rich and successful sports agent. Now what about your love life, someone as handsome as you I know those girls are following at your feet."
"Mom, we shouldn't get into Sam's personal business." Mercedes interrupts.
"No its fine Mercedes, unfortunately Janet I'm still single. I haven't found the right woman yet but I'm still looking." He turns to Mercedes when he says this and all Santana wanted to do was slap the smirk off his face.
"Well you know Mercedes is still single, I always thought you two would be so great together." Mrs. Jones says not caring that Santana was standing right there.
"Mom stop." Mercedes warns again.
"Who are you?" Aliyah says with a confused look on her face.
"Oh hi, my name is Sam, what's your name?"
"Aliyah Marie Jones."
"Nice to meet you Aliyah, you are a very beautiful girl."
"Thank you, mommy says I get my good looks from mama Tana." Aliyah says proudly. Santana smiles from ear to ear hearing Aliyah call her mama.
"Oh, so she's you and Mercedes daughter?"
"Yes she is." Santana says proudly.
"Oh wow I had no idea..Well you two have a beautiful little girl." Sam looks shocked and confused by the new information he just learned.
"Thank you." Mercedes responds.
"Anyway it was nice seeing you again Janet. I hope you all enjoy the rest of your night." Sam walkes away, he was obviously taken aback by the fact that Santana and Mercedes had a daughter together.
"Tana are you coming over to our house tonight."
"Yes I am pretty girl." Mercedes had invited Santana over to spend the night with them before she had to go back to L.A in the morning.
"Yay!" Aliyah claps her hands in excitement.
"Well I will be going now, Mercedes call me when you get home we need to talk." Mrs. Jones turns and walks out of the reception hall.
"Your mom is never going to like me is she?" Santana asks.
"You know how protective my mom is over me, she can be very stubborn. Hopefully she will come around one day."
"I doubt it but where is your dad, did he not want to come?"
"He goes on a lot of business trips so he wasn't able to make it."
"Oh okay."
"Mommy, can I please get a cupcake!" Aliyah asks pointing to the table full of desserts by the wedding cake.
"Yes but you can only have one I don't want you hyped up on sugar tonight."
"Tana let's go get cupcakes!"
"What Aliyah wants, Aliyah gets." Santana says to Mercedes before carrying their daughter over to the dessert table. Mercedes watches as Santana and their daughter walk away and the amount of happiness she felt was overwhelming. Her and Santana were on good terms and Aliyah finally got to meet her mother. This week has been so perfect and Mercedes couldn't be happier.
LATER THAT EVENING
"Quinn and Rachel's wedding was so beautiful, I'm so happy for the two of them." Mercedes says to Santana as they walk into her house. The wedding ended half an hour ago and right now Quinn and Rachel were off to their honeymoon.
"Yes it was, their wedding planner did a great job with everything." Santana responds.
"Mommy are you and Tana going to get married?" Aliyah asks innocently. Both Mercedes and Santana give their daughter a shocked look.
"No Aliyah, Santana and I are just friends."
"But I thought parents are suppose to be married?" Aliyah was very smart for her age.
"Yes sometimes but not all the time. When they love each other that's when they get married."
"You don't love each other?" Aliyah continues to question.
"Liyah, mommy and I love each other but just as friends." Santana tells Aliyah even though she knew it was a lie.
"But I want you to get married so Tana can live with us and we can be a family!" Santana was heartbroken hearing how their daughter so desperately wanted a family. It was exactly how she always felt when she was younger but she never got it. This was exactly why she wanted so badly for things to work out with her and Mercedes, she wanted to be a family.
"I know you do sweetie but right now your mommy and I are just friends. I'm still your mama Tana and you can call me everyday or video chat with me whenever you want. I'll come visit you whenever I can okay."
"You promise." Aliyah says poking out her bottom lip.
"Pinky promise." Santana holds out her pinky finger to Aliyah who quickly wraps her pinky around Santana's finger.
"Can you come watch Doc McStuffins with me now!" Aliyah asks quickly moving on from the conversation they just had.
"Of course Liyah." Santana answers and Aliyah grabs her hand and pulls Santana to her bedroom.
Once inside Aliyah's bedroom Santana notices her daughters obsession with this Doc McStuffins character because she was all over Aliyah's walls.
"Do you like my room Tana?"
"Like it, I love it!"
"This is Doc McStuffins! She's my favorite!"
"Well I can definitely see that."
"I have all her episodes on my iPad." Aliyah grabs her iPad off a small desk in the corner of her room. She then hops on her bed and sits against her pillows.
"Come on Tana we can both fit on the bed." Aliyah says patting a spot on the bed beside her.
"But you have to take off your shoes. Mommy does not like shoes on the bed."
Santana smiles at her daughter then takes off her shoes before getting in the bed with Aliyah. Aliyah turns on the iPad and turns on the episode of Doc McStuffins saved on her iPad. Santana was impressed with how easily Aliyah navigated through the iPad like a pro.
"Here you hold it Tana." Aliyah hands the iPad over to Santana then cuddles up next to her mother. Santana wraps her arms around Aliyah as the little girl lays her head on her chest and hits play on the video.
As they watch the episodes Santana couldn't help but constantly stared down at her daughter. She couldn't believe she had created something so beautiful and so precious. Aliyah was her perfect little angel and Santana just wanted to do everything she could to make sure she was always happy. The realization that she would soon have to leave Aliyah was hitting her hard and she tried her best to keep the tears from falling down her eyes. She held Aliyah tighter in her arms, enjoying every second she got with her.
Before Santana knew it she was being shaken awake by Mercedes, she didn't even realize she had fell asleep.
"Santana wake up." Mercedes whispers in her ear. She didn't want to wake her up because the way her and Aliyah fell asleep was just too cute but it would not be comfortable for the both of them to sleep in the small bed all night. Mercedes took a picture of the two of them before she woke Santana up and saved it on her cellphone.
"Sorry I didn't realize I fell asleep." Santana says getting up slowly, making sure she didn't wake up Aliyah. She carefully freed herself from Aliyah's hold and slowly got out of the bed. She put the blankets on top of her daughter and tucked her in.
"Looks like you are a natural." Mercedes comments.
"I'm sure I got a lot left to learn."
"Yeah but after just a week of motherhood you are doing pretty good."
"Thanks." Santana leans over and kisses her sleeping daughter on the forehead. Mercedes does the same and they both quietly exit the bedroom. Mercedes guides Santana down the hall to her bedroom.
Once inside Mercedes bedroom she goes to her dresser and pulls out some clothes for both her and Santana to wear to bed.
"Thanks." Santana says when Mercedes hands her a long t-shirt to put on. Mercedes turns her back as Santana changes which Santana finds silly.
"Cedes it's nothing you've never seen before, you don't have to turn around."
"It's actually for my own good, you can be irresistible at times and I want to stick to my no sex rule. Even though we won't see each other for awhile and right now I really want to have going away sex, I'm controlling myself." Santana was surprised by Mercedes honesty.
"One for the road?" Santana asks just to see if maybe Mercedes would change her mind.
"No I'm taking this seriously San so you just put on your clothes. I'll be in the bathroom getting ready for bed." Mercedes rushes off into the bathroom.
"Well if you change your mind I'll be here in your bed with nothing on but a t-shirt and boxers." Santana teases.
"Shut up Santana!" Mercedes yells through the door. Santana laughs at Mercedes frustration. She climbs into the bed and checks her emails and text messages while she waits for Mercedes to return. About fifteen minutes later Mercedes returns and climbs into bed next to Santana.
"What time do you have to leave in the morning?"
"Around ten, I still have to get my stuff from Quinn's before I head to the airport."
"Oh okay." Mercedes says and Santana can hear the sadness in her voice.
"I'm gonna miss you." Santana assures.
"I'm going to miss you too San."
"I'll call you and Aliyah everyday."
"Santana I don't expect you to call everyday, you are going to be super busy with filming and everything."
"I'm never going to be too busy for the two of you. If I can't call I will at least text you."
"Okay." Mercedes lays her head on Santana's chest. It was obvious to Santana that something was bothering Mercedes.
"Cedes tell me what's on your mind right now, I know something is bothering you."
Mercedes sighs before she begins to speak. "I don't know it's just we've only been back in each other's lives for a week and look how we are now. It's like we never broke up and that's scary to me, are you sure we didn't rush this?"
"No, there is no doubt in my mind that you are my soul mate. I already let five years past and I'm not letting six months past just to confirm something I already know. I love you Mercedes and you love me and that's all that matters. There is no rules to love and my feelings for you haven't changed in five years and I'm not going to let you slip away like I did before."
"You really do love me huh?"
"With all my heart." Santana answers with no hesitation.
Mercedes pulls Santana down to her and gives her a soft but passionate kiss. Mercedes had her reservations about jumping back into a relationship with Santana again but she could look in her eyes and tell that Santana meant every word she said.
"I love you Santana Lopez."
"And I love you Mercedes Jones."
Santana and Mercedes spend the rest of the night making out with each other. Enjoying the last moments they had left together, both of them dreading the next day when Santana would return to L.A and once again their relationship would be tested.
