It had been two days since her birthday, or at least that is what Santana thought. She was glad that Brittany knew that she was alive. She was overjoyed at the fact that her son was alive, she had gone so long thinking that he was dead. She didn't know that her birthday had been coming so soon, she hadn't realized that she had been gone so long. She had missed almost an entire year of her life, she had missed all three of her children's birthdays and her wife's birthday was coming up soon.

Santana bolted upright when she heard noises coming from outside. All of a sudden the door to her cell burst open to reveal a very worried looking Alex. He pulled out his gun and Santana heard footsteps down the hall. Alex turned to Santana cockily before he pulled the trigger, she felt the sharp pain and the last thing that she saw was a bunch of American soldiers storming in and shooting at Alex, that was the last thing that she saw before it all went black.

Brittany was sitting in the living room, it was a few days after Santana's birthday. She had just dropped the kids off at school, she had seen Rachel there doing the same and they had made plans to meet up in an hour or so for some girl time and then lunch. She flicked on the TV to CNN hoping that there would be something on there that would make her day better.

Ever since she had gotten the call from Santana on her birthday her hope had been restored. She sighed as the headlines on CNN where about some shooting in a courthouse in Texas and that was the breaking news. Brittany knew that if anything had happened with Santana it would be breaking news because hers and Finn's kidnapping had been such a huge story. It had been almost a year since it had happened and she was just being able to turn on the news without seeing her and Finn from the video that they had been forced to make way back when.

In the year Mike, Shay, and Tony have adjusted to the new way of life without Santana. Mike has moved on from Harry Potter to a series that he had never read before, another of Santana's favorites though, The Hunger Games. Shay no longer had Adele playing on a loop, only when it came on her shuffle and Tony had kicked his Spongebob addiction. Brittany had started to teach some more of her dance classes also. Brittany's cell phone started to ring in her pocket, she assumed that it was Rachel so she didn't bother to look at the caller ID.

"Rach please tell me you aren't calling to cancel on me because I really wanted to go shopping, its my only day off this week." Brittany said into the phone. The answering voice was not the one that she ahd expected.

"Mrs. Pierce?" a man's voice said and her heart sank.

"This is her."

"I am Colonel Montgomery of the United States Army, I am calling regarding your wife Santana Lopez."

"Yes." was all that she could manage.

"We have managed to extract Officer Lopez from the grasp of her captor and she is now on our base in the hospital." Montgomery said and there was a brief silence on the other line.

"Oh. My. God. Is she going to be okay? When is she coming home? Can I speak with her?" Brittany said she had jumped out of her chair and was now practically bouncing off the walls.

"She had extensive damage to her left leg but it has been saved and she will be able to walk again, though she may have a limp. She was shot during her rescue operation, in the left shoulder. The wound was a through and through, though it shattered her collar bone and so the doctors had to put a metal plate and about six screws in there to fix it. She also has extensive scarring to her face due to lacerations. But she is fine now."

"Fine, she is okay and at the US army base, she is okay?" Brittany asked in tears.

"Yes, Officer Lopez is okay. She will be able to come back stateside in one week. I can have her call you as soon as she gets out of her checkup okay Mrs. Pierce." Montgomery said.

"Yes, yes have her call me as soon as she can. Thank you so much, thank you." Brittany cried into the phone and hung up. She had to call Rachel. She quickly dialed her number.

"Brittany, please tell me you aren't- oh god what's wrong, why are you crying." Rachel asked, her voice full of concern.

"I just got a call about Santana." she said through her tears.

"Oh god no." Rachel said clearly misunderstanding Brittany's tears of joy for tears of grief.

"NO! She is okay, she is alright!" Brittany said.

"Oh my god! Oh my god!" Rachel started yelling into the phone and then she and Brittany were both laughing and crying. "Finn! Finn!" Rachel was calling. "Santana is okay, she's coming home!"

"Let me talk to him!" Brittany said.

"Britt!" Finn's voice.

"Finn, I have an idea, but I will need your help for it. I want to surprise the kids at school and I want to have a surprise party for Santana when we get back with the kids." Brittany said the idea just popping into her head. "Have all the glee people and her parents and mine! This will be great!"

"I can do that Britt." Finn said and Brittany could hear the smile in his voice through the phone. Then she heard beeping meaning she had another call.

"Finn, other line I think its her, gotta go!" Brittany said and switched to the other line. "Hello?" she asked hopefully.

"Brittany..."Santana said, her voice sounded different, worn, tired.

"Oh my God, Santana! Oh baby thank god! Are you okay, the Colonel said that you were shot and had scars and your leg and-"

"I'm fine Brittany. I just can't wait to get the hell outta this place. I get out in a week!"

"I know, he told me! I can't wait Santana."

"Me either, me either. Are the kids at school?"

"Yes and I was thinking that we should surprise them and have you show up at their school on the day you get home! What do you think San?"

"I think that will be very fun, I love surprising people." Santana said with a laugh.

"I know, but you can never pull one over on me!" Brittany laughed back.

"Oh ya?"

"Ya!"

"Look outside." Santana said into the phone and Brittany ran to the window that faced the front lawn. She then bolted to the door and out onto the yard, her phone laying on the floor of the living room.

Santana was standing on the lawn in her army camo. Brittany ran as fast as she could to her and threw her arms around her and held on like her life depended on it.

"What was that you were saying about surprises?" Santana smirked.

"Shut up!" Brittany said kissing her and then resuming her tight embrace.
