Ok so this chapter has a little bit of angst but it also has like…a truck load of fluff.
Thank you all for your lovely reviews they always make me smile.
This one's a bit long…
~~~ Going to the Chapel and We're Gonna Get Married ~~~
Sofia had dreaded this the moment she saw that god forsaken folder with dry macaroni art on the cover. Her wedding was going to end up a circus. She loves her mother, don't get her wrong but…some of her ideas were just a little too out there.
"Um...Mom I'm not arriving to my wedding in a pumpkin style coach." Sofia stated after reading over the wedding plans
"Why not?" Brittany asked sadly
"Because it's a fricking pumpkin style coach!" Sofia yelled in frustration
Santana then reached out and slapped her upside the head
"Ow! Ma!"
"Don't yell at your mother" She warned
"Sorry mom...but I'm not having any vegetable styled transport to take me to my wedding" Sofia told her
Brittany just sat there and pouted then mumbled something that sounded a lot like.
"Fine just ruin all my dreams and happiness"
"Mom" Sofia sighed
"No, no it's fine" Brittany mumbled
Sofia looked desperately at her Ma for help. Santana just smirked and shook her head. Sofia glared at her Ma. She was in a pickle, she didn't want to upset her mom but she really...really didn't want a fricking pumpkin coach!
"How about I think about it ok?" Sofia relented
Brittany's face brightened up with a big smile and Sofia just cringed.
"So did you and Grace pick out some nice rings?" Brittany asked
"We had a look but we didn't buy anything yet"
"Why not? How are people supposed to know that you're engaged?" She asked
"Mom don't panic we will get some rings…and besides I want it to be a surprise so I didn't want to get something while Grace was with me" Sofia replied
"OOOHH can I go with you?" Brittany asked excitedly
"Um…sure"
"Aww Sofia you're so grown up…getting rings and getting married! Santana I want another baby" Brittany sighed
The older Latina nearly choked on her drink when she heard that, Sofia didn't even attempt to hide her amusement.
"No more kids Britt" Santana coughed
Brittany sighed
"Speaking of kids…does this marriage mean that Gracie is up for having a baby?" Santana asked
Sofia looked a little unsure
"She said she was"
"You don't believe her?" Brittany asked with a hint of concern
"I don't know…I mean…it was kind of sudden I think with Aunty Q's heart attack she kind of panicked" Sofia admitted
"Well then why are you getting married if you don't think she is ready?" Santana asked
"I'm marrying her because I love her Ma"
"I know you do Ducky but what about wanting a family?"
"We said we'd talk about it more after her championships. I think she needs some easing into it before we start looking for donors and anyway she wants to get married first before we have kids" Sofia replied
Brittany and Santana shared a concerned look
"Guys don't worry so much" She told them though she didn't particularly sound all that convincing.
~~~ Something's Not Quite Right ~~~
Rachel walked towards her wife's hospital room as promised she would spend the day with Quinn. She took a deep breath and put on her show face as she entered the room. Quinn smiled when she saw her wife but she couldn't help but notice that Rachel looked tired...again. Quinn had noticed the dark rings under her wife's eyes the last few days.
"Hey baby" Quinn smiled softly
"Hey" Rachel replied with a kiss
"Are you ok? You look tired" Quinn asked with concern
"It's nothing I'm fine...just...planning Gracie's wedding" Rachel replied
Which was a total lie. Rachel had been having trouble sleeping since this whole thing started. Every time she closed her eyes she would see Quinn's lifeless body on the side of the street and Rachel not being able to do anything to stop it. She ended up having to drink a glass of wine every night to calm her nerves and let her get some sleep.
"So what have you guys come up with for the wedding?" Quinn asked
Rachel smiled and handed over her folder, Quinn just laughed. The brunette climbed up onto the bed with her wife as she told her all about the pumpkin style coach, about how Brittany was looking into having lambs and baby ducks as a feature somehow, possibly them being the part of the bridal party. Also Judy suggested releasing two doves while Maria thought they should have some kind of Spanish twist in there somewhere and Brittany immediately thought of tacos which just made Judy and Maria slightly uncomfortable when Brittany mentioned something about her loving to eat Jewish tacos and also blonde tacos just as much as she loves eating her Latina tacos...Rachel was slightly mortified by the end of that awkward conversation.
"God Gracie is gonna flip when she hears about all this" Quinn giggled
Rachel nodded
"Wanna help me pick out some wedding dresses for our baby girl?" Rachel asked as she pulled out some bridal magazines.
Quinn looked surprised
"Gracie's wearing a dress?"
Rachel looked down
"Well...s-she may have said that she wasn't but...maybe we can change her mind" Rachel looked up hopefully
Quinn just chuckled
"Sweetie I can guarantee you nothing will change her mind on wearing a dress"
"But it's her wedding day! Its one day. And she would look so pretty in a big white dress with her hair down and her face all done up nice." Rachel sighed
"Rach...I hate to disappoint you but it's not gonna happen." Quinn giggled
Rachel pouted so Quinn leaned over to kiss her but winced in pain instead. Rachel panicked
"Oh my god Quinn are you ok? I should call the doctor!"
"No, Rach it's ok, I'm fine it's just the bruising" Quinn quickly assured her.
"Are you sure? Maybe we should get a nurse at least" Rachel replied looking really worried
"Babe I'm sure...I'm fine" Quinn placed a reassuring hand on her wife's.
Rachel took a deep breath to calm her nerves and then finally nodded as she held Quinn's hand tightly in her own.
"I miss having you in our bed" She softly mumbled distantly
Quinn was getting concerned, Rachel was acting a little odd today.
"Rachel?"
"Hmm?" She mumbled and turned to look at her wife
"Honey is everything ok?" She asked softly
"It's fine" Rachel replied with her fake smile.
Quinn knew it was fake and Rachel knew that Quinn knew. She quickly got up out of bed and started to go through her bag to get out the other wedding magazines.
"We were thinking of the different places to have the reception. The girls haven't given us a date yet but it's important to get the venue as soon as possible because you know how long some of the waiting lists can be. So we need to start looking at the prices. Judy and Maria have offered to help pay which is really nice of them" Rachel rambled
Quinn sat there and watched her wife closely something was definitely off and Quinn was now officially worried.
It continued the whole time Rachel was there. They avoided the big elephant in the room. Though Quinn wasn't sure what that elephant was but she just knew there was an elephant that Rachel was not telling her about. So as soon as she left to go food shopping Quinn called Santana.
"Hey Q what's up?"
"San I need a favour"
"Oh god Q you're in hospital can't you get them to check you for herpes this time? I told you before I wasn't' doing that again" Santana grumbled
"What no! It's not that type of favour!" Quinn hissed
"Oh...ok well then what is it?"
"I need you to talk to Rachel"
"About what?"
Quinn sighed
"There's something she's not telling me. She's been acting weird and she looks tired all the time. I'm worried" Quinn replied
"Alright I'll talk to her. Don't worry too much Quinn. I...I don't want you getting sick again ok" Santana softly mumbled
Quinn just smiled at her friend's words.
"I'll be fine just...check up on her please"
"Will do...anything else?" The Latina asked
"No that's it...love you"
"Queer...love you too" Santana quickly added then hung up
Quinn just laughed
~~~ A Loving Touch ~~~
Grace slumped down on her couch with a bottle of beer in one hand and the TV remote in the other. She had just got home from work, her team was getting ready for the championships and practice was getting intense. Her knee was killing her. It was times like these when she hated having her career cut short. If she hadn't of gotten injured she would still be with her team or even on the Olympic team. They had been scouting the games and things were looking pretty good for Grace until that stupid girl crashed into her and completely shattered her right knee.
She was in rehab for six months due the severe damage that had been caused. She was devastated when they told her she couldn't play anymore. Ever since she still had problems with her knee especially on cold days and after she went running. She wasn't supposed to do much running but she couldn't help it. It frustrated her to no end because she used to be a really good and fast runner...not anymore.
"Shit" Grace hissed as she massaged her leg.
It wasn't just her knee the pain would travel to her thigh sometimes and because of the many surgeries she had to have it gave her more muscle cramps.
Grace stood up and limped over to the bathroom to grab her muscle cream. She got rid of her pants and started applying the cream. Her knee was like a road map with the scaring she hated it. It was like a constant reminder of what she couldn't do anymore. The pain was pretty bad today because she had pushed herself as she showed her team some different plays.
"Fuck!" She yelled then threw the tube of cream across the room in frustration.
She sat down on the side of the tub and gritted her teeth through the pain.
"Gracie I'm home" Sofia called out as she closed the door behind her
"You will not believe what our families are planning for our wedding" She laughed
Grace didn't respond. Sofia came into the bedroom to put her shoes away when she heard some sniffling from their bathroom. The Latina looked concerned and went to go see what was wrong.
"Gracie?"
Grace didn't reply she just wiped away her falling tears
"Baby what's wrong?" Sofia asked as she knelt in front of her fiancé
"It's nothing" She mumbled
"Gracie"
The brunette sighed
"It hurts" she sobbed
Sofia looked down at Grace's knee and frowned. She stood up and wrapped one arm around her shoulder and carefully placed the other under her legs
"What are you doing?" Grace asked
"I'm practicing for our wedding night" Sofia smiled as she picked Grace up bridal style
"Sofia I'm too heavy" Grace complained
"Pfft you're like a feather" Sofia scoffed
"Put me down"
"In a minute" Sofia replied as she moved them out of the bathroom
She quickly moved over to carefully place Grace on the bed.
"There" Sofia smiled proudly
"Thanks" Grace smiled back
Sofia quickly kissed Grace then went back to the bathroom to get the cream. She came back and sat down next to Grace and started massaging the cream into her leg.
"Does that feel better?" She asked softly
Grace nodded
"I hate this" Grace grumbled
"I know...want me to give you a happy?" She smirked as she ran her hand up her thigh tracing the outline of Grace's underwear
Grace couldn't help but chuckle
"Ok" she then replied
Sofia smiled brightly and hooked her thumbs in Grace's panties and slowly slid them down. She took her jacket off and got up on the bed sitting herself between Grace's legs. The Latina slowly ran her hands up Grace's legs. She then began to kiss her way up her thigh she could smell Grace's arousal which made her mouth water. Grace ran her fingers through Sofia's hair as she squirmed beneath her.
"Mmm Sofia" she groaned
The Latina couldn't drag it out any longer so she ran her tongue the entire length of Grace's folds then sucked on her swollen and needy clit and began to flick her tongue over her sensitive bundle of nerves. With one arm holding Grace's hips down Sofia used her other to begin thrusting two fingers deep inside the brunette beneath her. It wasn't long before Sofia could feel Grace start to clench around her fingers so she upped her pace and curled her fingers inside her until she came with a loud scream and a flood of wetness coating the Latina's fingers. Sofia helped Grace come down then she slowly slid her fingers out and brought them up to her mouth as she greedily sucked them dry. She placed one last kiss to Grace's clit before she sat up.
"Feel better now?" She asked
Grace just smiled lazily and nodded
"Come here" She asked softly
Sofia leaned forward as Grace placed her hand behind the brunette's neck to draw her in for a kiss.
"I love you" She softly murmured after the kiss
"I love you more" Sofia smiled and then gave her an Eskimo kiss.
~~~ Daisy, Daisy Give Me Your Answer Do ~~~
Ben had sat there for over 20 minutes just staring at his phone trying to get himself to call Daisy and ask her out. After talking with Charlie he made up his mind to move on. He wasn't going to hold onto something that he never really had. He liked Daisy she was smart and funny. She was out going and she was the kind of person who would bring him out of his shell.
After taking one more deep breath he picked up his phone and dialled her number.
"Hello?"
"H-Hi...um...it's me Ben"
"Oh hi Ben how are you?"
"Good...I'm good and you?" He asked
"I'm fine" She giggled
"Great!"
An awkward silence…
"Was there something you wanted?" She asked
"Oh um...yeah I um...I w-was wondering if you...you wanted to like maybe g-go out...with me sometime" He rambled
"You mean like a date?" She teased
"Y-yeah...I mean only if you want too" he quickly replied
"I would love to" She replied softly
"Really?" He genuinely seemed surprised
"Of course...where are you taking me?" She asked
"Oh...um...well I...I haven't thought that far ahead yet" He admitted
Daisy chuckled
"Ok well text me when you figure it out"
"I will...just...keep Friday free" he replied
"I look forward to it"
They said their goodbyes and Ben couldn't wipe the smile off his face even if he wanted too. He headed down stairs and went to the kitchen to grab a drink and ask his mom where he could take Daisy because he had no clue.
~~~ A Little Pezberry Goes A Long Way ~~~
Santana found Rachel out the back sitting in the hammock looking like she was off in her own world just staring out at nothing. When she didn't respond to Santana at first the Latina was thinking that Quinn was right. Rachel had been unusually quiet lately. Unless they were talking about the wedding. Santana carefully took a seat next to the smaller brunette trying not to tip the hammock over.
"Hey Berry"
"It's Fabray" She softly replied
Santana nodded
"Right...Fabray...Anyway um...how are you?" Santana cringed at how lame that sounded
Rachel thought so too as she gave her a weird look. Santana sighed and tried again.
"Look, Q is worried about you and now I'm starting to worry too. What's going on with you?" Santana asked
"I'm fine Santana"
"Yeah and I love cock. Rachel stop being all...stoic and just tell me"
Rachel looked down as she couldn't help her tears from forming in her eyes. Santana placed a comforting arm around her shoulders and gently rubbed her arm as Rachel's breath hitched.
"It's stupid" She mumbled
"What is?"
"I...I feel like...I feel like I'm grieving her. Like she's gone and I...I know it's stupid because she's not. She's alive and she'll be coming home soon but she died Santana…she died right in front of me and I couldn't do anything to stop it…I feel like I've lost her." Rachel cried.
Santana nodded in understanding and held her close.
"I know what you mean" she replied softly
"How?"
"Do you remember that month when the doctors kept telling us that Brittany's treatments weren't working and that we should start preparing for...that there wasn't much time left?" Santana asked
Rachel nodded, that was the worst month...ever!
"Well...I kinda lost it. The first time they told me that I had to say goodbye to my wife I went home got fucking pissed drunk and completely trashed the house. Because to me it felt like they were telling me that she was already gone...you should have seen the mess I made. It's why I 'redecorated' for Brittany's return home." Santana told her
Rachel looked a little shocked she had no idea...none of them did.
"I'd finally stopped breaking things when I got too tired and just collapsed on the ground. I woke up when Judy slapped me across the face" Santana chuckled
There was a silence as Rachel took in what Santana was telling her.
"I begged her not to tell anyone and she never did. She told me I was being selfish and a fucking idiot because Brittany was still alive and that she wasn't gone and that she still needed me. She kept telling me that only the strong survive and that I shouldn't hold onto the what if's. She told me to get it all out but to do it now and then move on and be there for my wife." Santana continued
"Rachel. Quinn is alive and she is going to be alive for a very long time. She's strong. So grieve, break something just do it before Quinn comes home. Get it out of your system and then move on because Quinn is not gone and she will want her wife when she gets out of hospital." Santana added
Rachel nodded
"Thank you for sharing that" she softly mumbled
"Yeah well...you and me are part of an elite club now"
Rachel looked confused
"The 'Our Wives Nearly Died But Didn't' club" Santana replied
Rachel couldn't help it when her lips slightly quirked at that.
"That's not funny Santana"
"Then why are you smiling?" Santana smirked
"Shut up" Rachel grinned
"We'll need to come up with a secret handshake" The Latina mumbled
"And a mascot" Rachel added with a chuckle
Santana just laughed with her and pulled her in for a big hug.
~~~ Oh Yeah I'm Engaged…Totally Forgot About That ~~~
After their horse ride Ally had found her new obsession…and now she wanted her own pony. Toby was glad that Ally enjoyed herself but he wasn't too happy about her now constantly asking for her own horse…that was a slight downside. Toby was also happy that Ally and Maya got on really well. He was always weary of new people coming into his daughter's life. He didn't want her to get hurt, that's why he hadn't really started dating after she was born because he didn't want her getting attached to someone and then be hurt when or if they were to leave. But Maya was his friend and he trusted her.
The trio were currently sitting in the small living room of Toby's apartment that sat behind the Fabray house. They had just had dinner, Maya had cooked them pasta and now they were watching The Little Mermaid once again much to Toby's annoyance. It was getting late and little Ally was barely able to keep her eyes open as she laid sprawled across her daddy's lap with her legs resting on Maya's lap. The movie was up to the part where Ariel and Eric were sitting in their little boat in the lagoon and Sebastian was about to start singing telling Prince Eric to kiss the girl.
Toby looked down at his little girl and noticed that she was pretty much off to noddy land so he paused the movie much to Maya's displeasure. She turned to look at him with a questioning look.
"I'm gonna put her to bed" He whispered
Maya nodded and got up to help move Ally. While Toby was putting her to bed Maya started cleaning up around the small kitchen. Toby dressed Ally in her PJs and tucked her in giving her a gentle kiss on the forehead before turning on her night light and closing the door behind him. He headed back to the living room to find Maya doing the dishes.
"You don't have to do that." He told her
"Yes I do, I made the mess…I don't mind. Besides I'm almost done." She smiled
Toby just smiled in return and helped dry the remaining dishes.
"Did she get to bed alright?" Maya asked
"Yeah she was out like a light. I didn't even have to read her a story." He replied
"She's really adorable Toby, she looks so much like you" Maya smiled
"Thanks…did you want a beer?" He asked as he headed to the fridge
"Why not" She shrugged
They grabbed their drinks and headed back to the living room area and sat down.
"You don't want to keep watching this do you?" He asked
Maya looked down a little bashfully
"It's my favourite part" She mumbled
Toby sighed
"Fine" He pressed play and just laughed at Maya's big smile
Just after the song had finished Maya's phone started ringing. She quickly answered it because she didn't want Ally waking up. She smiled apologetically at Toby who just waved her off as if to say 'don't worry'.
"Hello?"
"Hey babe its Alex"
"Who?" She asked
"Alex your fiancé" He replied a little annoyed
"Oh right sorry I um…I couldn't hear you" She quickly replied with a slight laugh as she took a glance over at Toby who sat there watching the movie trying not to eavesdrop
"Um…what did you want?" She asked
"Is this a bad time?" He asked
"No…no, its fine I'm sorry I'm just…you caught me by surprise I wasn't expecting your call." Maya replied
"Oh…well I have some good news baby" He told her even though he was on the phone you could tell he was smiling
"Oh?"
"Yep…guess who will be at the airport on Friday night waiting for the next flight to New York?" He replied
"Umm….you?" She hesitantly answered
"Got it in one!" He laughed
"Why?" She then asked
"Come on babe I thought you'd be a little more excited to see your fiancé after being separated for like a month now" He said with a hint of sadness and annoyance
"Sorry…I am…I…I've missed you…but I thought you had work and that you wouldn't be here till next month." She replied
"Yeah…well it's not a permanent stay I just…I can only be there for the weekend and then I have to go back but I missed you and I wanted to surprise you." He told her
"Oh well you definitely surprised me" She laughed then looked once again over at Toby
"W-When will you be getting here?" She asked
"Saturday morning so can you pick me up?" He asked
"Of course…I can't wait." She replied
"Me too…I'll text you the flight details. I love you Maya"
"You too" She replied then hung up her phone
She took a moment before she went to go sit back down.
"Anyone important?" Toby asked
Maya just shook her head and then took a big gulp of her beer and focused her attention on Ursula taking Eric away from Ariel.
~~~ Ding Dong That Fucking Witch Needs to Be Dead! ~~~
Becky sat on her small couch with her laptop she was doing some research on what to do when one finds themselves being wrongly accused of raping someone. She had yet to tell Santana much to Hannah's annoyance. Becky had to go and meet with her boss, Mark on Friday for a meeting about the situation and what is going to happen. She wasn't going to lie…Becky was terrified about what might happen. She knows that she didn't do anything wrong that she could never do that to someone. But more than likely they will take Valerie's side because she was the 'victim'. This type of thing could totally ruin her. Not only will she have the stigma of being the one accused of such a heinous act but she would be hard pressed to find another job in a school if word got out about it, which it would because teachers are the worst gossipers in any kind of workplace. Not only that but what would this do to her kids? She just could not understand why Valerie was doing this to her.
She was pulled out of her musings when the doorbell rang. Becky dragged her feet to answer and was completely taken back by who she saw standing there.
"What do you want?" Becky hissed
"I have a proposition for you" Valerie replied with a smile
"Get the fuck off my doorstep." Becky snapped
"Now, now…let's not get rude…I'm here to make it all better" She replied
Going against her better judgement Becky let Valerie in.
"Nice place" The redhead remarked
"What do you want?" Becky asked once again
"So you're going to pay attention to me now?" She asked condescendingly
"That's what this is about? Getting attention?" Becky yelled
"No…well…kinda" Valerie replied
Becky was getting furious but held her anger in
"You accused me of rape…how could you do that?" Becky snapped
"Look…I know that was a bit…harsh"
"Harsh? You told Mark that I raped you!" Becky yelled
"And I'll take it back…tell him it was just a misunderstanding" Valerie told her
Becky looked confused but then looked a little scared when she saw that stupid bitch smirk
"If you do something for me" She added as she came up into Becky's personal space
"Why are you doing this?" Becky hissed
"I told you why…we work together. What we had that night was a fucking eye opener for you. You can't deny that it wasn't hot and fun and exciting." Valerie snapped
"Get it through you're fucked up head Valerie…I don't want you" Becky replied through her teeth
But it just was not getting through to the crazy nutcase. Valerie was apparently not one to take no for an answer so she roughly pulled Becky in and crashed their lips together forcing her tongue into her mouth. Becky was totally taken by surprise by the attack and nearly fell backwards by the woman's forcefulness. But once she gained her senses back Becky managed to push Valerie off her.
"Get the fuck out of here before I call the police!" Becky yelled trying not to cry
Valerie looked livid and slightly psychotic…Becky you really shouldn't piss off a crazy.
"Fine…but you are going to regret this…I'm gonna make your life a fucking misery" Valerie threatened before she stormed out of the apartment.
Becky stood there shaking as she tried to take in everything that had happened in the last few minutes. She had no idea what to do. Valerie was definitely a loony a crazy and scary loony. She didn't think this kind of stuff happened; it was like something out of a badly written soap opera…not her life! She wasn't sure what Valerie was capable of but if she was willing to blatantly lie about someone raping her and then to do what she just did…there was no telling what she might do. That's what scared her the most…not knowing what she will do next.
~~~ Coming Home ~~~
It was Friday…and Quinn was finally coming home. The blonde had been dreaming of this day since she first woke up in hospital. Due to her recovering quickly the doctors let her out a day early, though she still had to come back the next day for a check-up. Rachel was there along with Santana and Brittany to take her home. The trio were fussing over the blonde as they packed her stuff up and helped her into the wheelchair. Though she had been doing her daily walks around the hospital Quinn was still a little weak and had to monitor her exercise.
"Want me to go really fast?" Santana whispered to Quinn as she stood behind the wheelchair
Quinn smirked and was about to nod when Rachel and Brittany gave them the look. Both Quinn and Santana looked down like two scolded puppy dogs.
Georgia was there to see Quinn off. The nurse had grown attached to Quinn much like most of the nurses who helped look after the blonde.
The ride home was kind of exciting for Quinn because she had missed being in her own house in her own bed and just being able to do what she wanted. Santana and Brittany were also excited to have their friend back home where she belongs. Rachel just tried not to cry. She was so happy to finally have her wife back she was hoping this would help her get over her grief and that things will be back to normal for everyone. Quinn was practically giddy when Santana pulled up in their drive way.
"Now just to warn you there is a house full of people waiting to see you." Rachel told her wife
"Rach…way to totally ruin the surprise" Brittany pouted
"Babe me and Rach talked about it and we decided it was probably not the best idea to give a surprise party to a woman who just had a heart attack." Santana told her wife
"Oh…yeah that probably wouldn't be good." Brittany agreed
"Ok less chatting I want to get inside my house!" Quinn told them as she opened the car door.
Rachel quickly got out to help her wife
"Honey I'm fine…I'm not going to break" Quinn smiled at her overprotective wife
"I'm sorry Quinn" Rachel mumbled
"Hey…I totally love that you want to help ok…but…I can manage to get out of a car and walk a few steps to the front door…but you can take my bag if you really want to" She said with a smile
Rachel nodded and picked up the bag, Quinn then laced her fingers with her wife's making Rachel stop and look down at their entwined hands. The brunette looked up at her smiling wife.
"That doesn't mean I don't want to hold your hand" Quinn told her
Rachel gave her a smile
"Come on…let's get you home" Rachel whispered
Quinn nodded and then they started walking towards the house where Santana and Brittany were waiting by the front door.
"God you two are so fucking cheesy I think I just threw up in my mouth a little bit" Santana groaned
Quinn was welcomed home by her family and friends getting hugs and kisses from everyone. It was really good to see everyone together. Grace, Becky, Judy and Maria all prepared some food for the occasion it wasn't a big thing because they didn't want to overwhelm Quinn so it was pretty low key which was nice. The kids played outside with Sofia, Maya and Becky watching over them while most of the adults stayed under the outdoor area. Brittany was helping with the barbeque along with Maria and Toby. Santana and Quinn both teased Mercedes when her daughter Lilly showed up with her 'best friend' Amanda and Brittany just made it worse when she asked the girl if she wanted a hot dog or a taco and she immediately went for the taco. Mercedes just glared at her friends.
All in all it was a good afternoon. Though there were some obvious tension surrounding some of the guests but they put that aside for Quinn's sake. Hannah couldn't help but notice that Becky was avoiding her for some reason. Ben and Charlie talked but it was so awkward it wasn't funny and Toby couldn't help but think that Maya was acting a little odd. The party started to dwindle down when it was apparent that Quinn was getting tired so they all said their goodbyes after helping clean up. The only ones left were the Berry-Fabrays and Marcus who had arrived that day after tying up some loose ends in Florida. The family stayed together until Quinn fell asleep on the couch, Toby picked his mother put and carried her up to bed with Rachel staying up there with her.
~~~ Love All Around ~~~
It was late afternoon after welcoming Quinn home and it seemed like everyone had plans, Ben was getting ready for his date with Daisy, Grace and Sofia were 'practicing' for their wedding night after she had come home from her moms' house, and Rachel finally had her wife back home where she belongs. The two had cuddled up together in their bed as they slept; Rachel clung onto Quinn for dear life. Charlie was getting ready to go out with Flynn and Toby and Ally were having a pizza night with Maya. Hannah was a little surprised when Becky invited her and the boys over for a family night of watching movies together. It was a little odd but only because Becky had barely said two words to Hannah while they were at Quinn and Rachel's place. It seemed like everyone had something fun and interesting they were doing that night all except for Brittany and Santana…or so Brittany thought.
The tall blonde was currently sitting in the kitchen going over her final Cheer routine for her team the Sharks they were getting ready for their Nationals competition.
"Put the pen down and get your sexy ass over here" Santana said as she came up behind her wife
Brittany just giggled, she turned around in her chair and her mouth dropped.
"You like?" Santana asked with a smirk
"Totally" Brittany smiled
Santana was all dolled up in a form fitting devil red dress with stilettos that made her legs to die for.
"Are we going out?" Brittany asked as her eyes travelled to her wife's chest as the brunette walked up to her.
"Babe…my eyes are up here" Santana chuckled
"I know where your eyes are" Brittany replied still staring at her wife's boobs
"To answer your question yes we are going out" Santana replied
"But I thought we were getting our romance on tomorrow?" Brittany said
"We are…but we're also getting our romance on tonight as well."
"Ooh two day romantic surprise…I'm starting to swoon already" Brittany smiled
"Well get ready for a whole truck load of swooning because this is a three day romance surprise" Santana smirked
"Aww Sanny"
Santana smiled proudly…she is so fucking awesome it almost makes her look like a walking cliché but she's not because she's like…a total badass.
"So go upstairs get all pretty then meet me down here and let the swooning begin because baby it's going to be epic" Santana leaned down and tenderly kissed her wife
Half an hour later Brittany came down the stairs in a gorgeous black dress that kinda made Santana just want to forget her plans and just ravish her wife right there and then. But she was determined to prove to Brittany that she was totally romantic.
"Ready?" Santana asked
Brittany nodded excitedly and took her wife's hand as the two left the house.
The blonde was a little confused when Santana drove past all their usual dining spots but she didn't really care because she was just happy to be with her wife.
"Santana…why are we at the airport?" Brittany asked when she finally realised where they were
"Because…we're going on a little trip." Santana replied
"Where are we going?"
"To our spot" Santana replied cryptically
Brittany gave her a questioning look but just went with it.
Santana had managed to get first class seats for their little flight with expensive Champaign. Brittany loved flying so she was already have a hoot of a time…Santana on the other hand was not a fan but she put on a brave face for her wife she only had herself to blame…she was the one who arranged this plan. She couldn't drop her badass façade in front of her woman though…what would that look like? Though she totally failed when she let out a small squeak of "Oh god we're gonna die!" When the plane was landing. Brittany just reached out and took her hand to calm her down.
In all her excitement Brittany had failed to notice where their destination was. Now for anybody else this would have been the last place to go for a romantic weekend and in all honesty it was a pretty odd choice but Santana had her reasons. Brittany started undoing her seatbelt as well as Santana's because the brunette had yet to let go of the hand rests when the captain's voice came over the intercom.
"Ladies and Gentlemen we have reached our destination of Lima Ohio, I hope your flight has been enjoyable and we look forward to you flying with us again. Have a good night."
"We're in Lima?" Brittany looked confused
Santana just nodded she would be able to explain once her feet were on land. Once they had gotten off the plane and they got their bags Santana was feeling a lot better.
"So…we're in Lima" Brittany asked
"Yep"
"And…we're going to our spot?" Brittany asked
"Yep"
Brittany stood there till it finally clicked and a huge smile appeared on her face and she flung her arms around the Latina.
"Oh my god Sanny you are so corny but I love you!" She all but screamed
Santana just laughed
"So I did good?" She asked
"If I wasn't already married I would get down on one knee and propose" She smiled
"Well…you could still get down on one knee…though you don't have to propose…but do something else" Santana smirked and gave her a wink
"Sanny your smutty ways are ruining the moment" Brittany replied
"Sorry…um…you're like a beautiful rose on a sunny day" Santana quickly said
Brittany just giggled
"I think I prefer your smut" She replied
Santana just laughed and nodded
They headed out of the airport and were greeted with a long black limousine. Brittany's eyes lit up and Santana just smiled, she had this in the bag.
The ride was short but totally worth it when Brittany let Santana feel her up on the backseat of the limo…good times. They finally reached their destination. It was the Lima Park, it was a nice warm evening the place was lit up from the solar lanterns that ran up the path and lead to the pond in the middle of the park. Santana took Brittany's hand and led them down the path. Brittany couldn't help but think about all the memories that had been made in this park. They hadn't been back to Lima for a long time. Not since Mr. Shue's funeral six years ago. He was brutally and tragically killed in a car accident. It had also been like a mini reunion for all the original glee club members, although it was sad it was also good to see everyone again. To see what they had all been up to.
Santana led them off the track towards a more secluded part of the park. Normally it would be a little dangerous to do this at night but Santana had her connections and had set everything up beforehand. They finally reached their destination.
"Oh my god Sanny" Brittany said in awe as her eyes started to well up
Santana had brought her to their gazebo. This place had held so many memories for the two. It was where they had first met, it was where they would always spend their afternoons after school, they shared their first kiss here, it was the place where Brittany first let Santana touch her boobs and it was also the place where they got married. Santana had it set up with fairy lights and a blanket and pillows for a picnic under the stars.
Santana just smiled, even though she had set it all up she couldn't help but get emotional too. That was until the moment was interrupted by the sound of a motor roaring behind them. The two quickly turned around and came face to face with an old…well I wouldn't say friend…
"Well, well, well…if it isn't Sandbags and Blondie" A voice came from out of the dark shadows
"Coach Sylvester?" Brittany asked
And just like something out of a horror movie Sue Sylvester emerged from out of the shadows on her hover craft. You'd half expect a roar of thunder and a flash of lightning to add to the dramatic effect.
"What are you doing here?" Brittany asked
"Well Brittany I just like trolling the park at night and scaring the natives, with Shuster gone my days are now spent with mindless trivial acts of terror…I had to run down a family of mice the other day just to get a cheap chuckle." Sue replied with a sigh
Brittany and Santana gave each other a confused and slightly horrified look
"That's…nice?" Brittany mumbled
"Moving on…Thanks Sue for setting this all up" Santana quickly spoke up
"Well you know me Boobs McGee…I'll do any for my favourite lezzie duo" Sue smiled
"Right…um…" Santana mumbled
"Oh by the way…when you get back tell Q that if she thinks having a heart attack is hard…try having to get dead mouse hair out of a hover craft…that's hard!" Sue added
"Sure…I'll um…I'll let her know." Santana replied
"Excellent… now if you don't mind I have places to be…I'm gonna head on over to the cemetery and do my weekly jig on Shuster's grave." Sue smiled
Santana and Brittany looked horrified
"I'm sure he will appreciate the irony…I may even do it to a rap song tonight" Sue added and then she was gone
"She's not serious is she?" Brittany asked
"I could never tell with her" Santana admitted
"That was a strange few minutes" Brittany then said
"Yeah…I could go another ten years without seeing her again" Santana replied
Brittany just nodded
"Anyway back to our romantic weekend…after you milady" Santana smiled as she ushered Brittany towards the gazebo
The blonde let out a small giggle at Santana trying to be all chivalrous.
The two settled down on the fluffy blanket as Santana grabbed the basket with their food. She opened the lid and frowned.
"What's wrong?" Brittany asked
Santana huffed in annoyance as she passed a piece of paper to Brittany.
Boobs and Blondie,
I'm disappointed with your choice of foods. I fear that they will cause your already disfigured bodies due to the insane need to procreate to implode so I've amended the menus for tonight. I present the new and improved Sue Sylvester Master Cleanse 2.0: Water, maple syrup, lemon, cayenne pepper to irritate the bowels, ipecac and now including a healthy dose of nicotine purely to make you have 'constant cravings' of this drink because you both are in desperate need of it.
P.S. There is a bag of sand as well for the blonde one.
P.P.S. Yes that was a lesbian reference thrown in there because I know you people can't go two seconds without your lezzie fix…no need to thank me.
Brittany frowned as Santana picked out two bottles of the Master Cleanse and the bag of sand.
"Sorry Britt…I had like a whole menu of delicious stuff for us tonight" Santana sighed
"It's ok…I could always just eat you" Brittany replied
Santana nearly choked on air at that admission, Brittany just giggled at her wife's reaction.
"Kinda like I did that summer before senior year when we came here…it was a super hot day and you were all sweaty and so hot because you had been working out all summer…do you know how many times I had to restrain myself from ripping your clothes off whenever I saw you?" Brittany asked as she started moving closer and closer to her wife
Santana just gulped
"Your legs were so toned, your abs were awesome and your ass was like…perfect" Brittany added
"I…I thought I was supposed to romance you" Santana stuttered
Brittany just giggled as she captured her wife's lips with her own. The two began to get carried away as they lay down together lost in each other's embraces. That was until a splash of cold water hit them making them scream.
"Not in my park" Sue yelled as she stood on her hover craft and held a water gun in her hand
"Ok that's it Imma gonna kill her" Santana hissed as she tried to get up but Brittany just held her down
It was too late anyway Sue had vanished off into the night once again.
"Calm down Sanny…it's kind of fitting really" Brittany told her
"How? This is supposed to be romantic!"
"Well it's just like when Coach caught us behind the bleachers that one time…at least this time around she only used water…last time she used tar and feathers" Brittany replied
"Ugh…I had to get rid of my weave because of that" Santana grumbled
"And I kept sticking to things" Brittany replied
"Yeah it was a little awkward when your hand got stuck to my boob for like the whole day" Santana giggled
"Awkward for everybody else…I had no problem with it" Brittany smiled
"I'm sorry tonight was ruined" Santana sighed
"It's not ruined…I love that you went to all this trouble just for me. It makes me feel special and loved" Brittany replied softly
"Well that's because you are special…and loved. After what happened with Quinn I…it made me think about how fucking lucky we are. I almost lost you before and…I should do more to make you feel like I don't take you for granted" Santana murmured
"Sanny I don't think that. I know you don't take me for granted. You're the best wife a woman could ever have. You take care of me, you gave me two beautiful kids, you love me, you make me laugh and you're incredibly sweet…when you want to be." Brittany smiled
"You still think all that after all these years?" Santana asked
"I do...do you remember what I said to you thirty years ago while standing in this gazebo because I meant it?" Brittany asked
"Of course I remember." Santana smiled
The Latina reached over to her bag and pulled out her purse then pulled out a worn old piece of paper. Brittany looked a little confused until Santana started reading it. Brittany just smiled as a few tears started to well up in her eyes.
"Dear Santana, I love you, you are my best friend and now you are going to be my wife which is super cool because now I know that you'll be mine forever. This means that you love me as much as I love you. It also means you now have to sing Melissa Ethridge's 'Come to My Window' even though we aren't in Glee anymore you still have to sing it with me. You are the most beautiful girl in the whole world and you make me so happy and we also have really great sex which is a plus. I will spend my whole life telling you that I love you and I will always be there to take care of you and make sure the evil clowns don't get you. You are my soul mate and I love you with all my heart. Love from Brittany…P.S. You are totally going to get lucky tonight" Santana was softly crying by the time she finished and so was Brittany.
"You kept that?" She asked
"Of course I did. I've always kept it close to me." Santana smiled
"You know you never did sing that song with me" Brittany told her
Santana just laughed
"That's because I don't like that song Britt"
Brittany pouted so Santana leaned over and quickly kissed her lips then started to softly sing.
"I don't care what they think; I don't care what they say. What do they know about this love anyway?"
Brittany giggled and softly clapped before she kissed her wife.
Hmmmm I wonder…can you tell that I am not a fan of one Will Shuester?
