Warning: AN ramblings ahead.
First of all…new Glee episode…Faberry feelings all over the place my god! When Rachel cried…I admit…it made me all teary eyed…poor girl. Seriously though Rachel needs to listen to Quinn about the whole Finn thing
Also I have decided that only Artie and Santana are allowed to sing Michael Jackson. And is it at all wrong that I now ship Artie with Mike?
Ok so a few of you were a little...upset I guess about Sofia's actions...I can understand that.
It has been stated several times that Sofia isn't gay so why wouldn't she still be attracted to men? Is it ok for Grace to be attracted to other women but Sofia isn't allowed to find other men attractive?
If anything Grace was slightly worse she had seven naked women dance all over her while Sofia only had one man and I think Sofia's insecurities are a lot higher than Grace's...she contemplated getting a boob job because of it. Granted having an ex give you a lap dance is not good I agree with you on that. Just some food for thought…
I love hearing what you all think about it or anything in this story so feel free to voice your opinions.
Also in this chapter Maya talks about her abuse...nothing too graphic but I just wanted to let you know.
~~~ Pre-Wedding Nerves ~~~
After their fight/discussion Sofia contemplated whether or not she should tell Grace about Greg. She had felt terrible about it since it happened. She didn't know why she went ahead with the private show. Thinking about it now she realised how incredibly wrong it was considering he was her ex. But they hadn't been together in over ten years. Surely that makes it somewhat not so bad? Maybe? Sofia didn't want to get married hiding things from Grace though. They had always been pretty honest about everything with each other probably because they had been such good friends to begin with. But Sofia knew this would upset Grace and that was something Sofia never ever liked doing…she was in a pickle.
"Gracie"
"Yeah?"
"I...um...Greg's a stripper" Sofia blurted out
"Who?" Grace asked a little confused
"Greg...you know my old boyfriend from high school" Sofia replied getting a little more anxious
"Oh that Greg." Grace nodded
"Yeah...so...he's a stripper now"
Grace just nodded
"Gracie...he was there...last night" Sofia explained
"Oh..." Was all Grace said.
Sofia couldn't really tell much from that or Grace's expression on her face so she kept talking.
"I don't want to keep things from you" Sofia replied
"What happened?" Grace then asked not exactly sounding very happy.
"Please don't get mad at me" Sofia whispered
"Sofia just tell me" Grace demanded
"He gave me a lap dance...and...and I...felt something" Sofia mumbled looking down feeling ashamed of herself.
When Grace didn't reply Sofia hesitantly looked up Grace did not look happy.
"Why are you telling me this?" Grace finally spoke.
"Because I don't want to start our marriage with a guilty conscious." Sofia replied sadly
"So...what you're telling me is that...you had your ex-boyfriend dance naked for you and you got turned on?" Grace asked her voice was lacking any kind of emotion which kinda scared Sofia a little.
"It was stupid I know...I didn't even stay for the entire thing because it freaked me out that I felt like that. And I got Becky to take me home. I'm really sorry Gracie...It was shitty of me to even ask him. I just...I don't know I just thought that maybe it would be ok because I knew him and it wouldn't be some random stranger...I'm sorry." Sofia rambled
Grace still hadn't really reacted yet which was making Sofia even more anxious than before.
"Please say something"
"What do you want me to say Sofia?" Grace asked with a sigh
"I don't know." Sofia replied
There was a long silence between the pair before anyone said anything else.
"It happened to me as well" Grace spoke first
Sofia just looked confused
"What did?"
"There were a lot of...attractive girls at the club" Grace replied
"Big boobs?" Sofia asked dryly with a hint or anger
"Sofia" Grace sighed
"No it's fine whatever" Sofia dismissed her
Another one of those silences appeared after that.
"Are you mad at me?" Sofia eventually asked
"I am" Grace answered honestly but she didn't sound angry.
Sofia nodded
"Are you still going to marry me?" Sofia then asked
"I am" Grace answered
"Are you mad at me?" Grace then asked
"A little" Sofia admitted
"Are you still going to marry me?" Grace asked
"A little" Sofia replied with a hint of a smile
"We're a right pair aren't we?" Grace asked
"A couple of stupid putas" Sofia replied
"Me more so" Sofia then added
Grace just nodded
"You do know that if you ever see, speak or even so much as think about Greg again I will slap you silly" Grace stated seriously
Sofia just chuckled and nodded
"And you aren't allowed back at Aunty Tee's club unsupervised otherwise I'll punish you" Sofia replied with a small smirk
Grace tried not to smile at that.
"Must you make everything sound dirty?"
"It's the Lopez in me" Sofia shrugged
"That's your excuse for everything"
"Well its pretty much true for everything. I blame my Mami…are we ok Gracie?" Sofia replied
Grace moved closer to Sofia and ran her hands down the brunette's arms joining their hands together.
"Ten years Sofia and this is our only hiccup...I think we're doing pretty good." Grace replied
"It's more like a burp" Sofia muttered
Grace just laughed and nodded
"You know our honeymoon is going to be epic because it's not just honeymoon sex but it's make up sex as well" Sofia murmured
"Oh...we're not going to do that before the wedding?" Grace asked sounding a little disappointed
Sofia just chuckled softly at that.
"I think it will be more special and meaningful tonight" She then said
"Ok...are you sure?" Grace asked
"Yes" Sofia smiled
"Can I at least kiss you?" Grace asked
"Oh totally. I was gonna shove my tongue down your throat regardless" Sofia replied
"Such a charmer" Grace rolled her eyes
"Hey wait till you hear my vows. You'll melt into a puddle" Sofia boasted
"You're totally gonna cry aren't you" Grace teased
"Pfft no...I'm too badass to cry...unlike Becky who was a blubbering mess" Sofia replied
"Sure ok." Grace chuckled
"Shut up and just kiss me already" Sofia demanded
"Fine...if I have too" Grace sighed
Sofia just smiled and leaned in to kiss her soon to be wife. But the two were interrupted when the front door slammed open and a frustrated Judy Fabray stood there not looking at all impressed.
"There you two are! Girls we gave been looking everywhere for you two! We've been calling and messaging you all morning! Now get your butts into gear! Otherwise you'll be late for your own wedding! You can have sex after! Geez you are just like your mothers Gracie...you're just as bad Sofia" Judy yelled
"We weren't going to have sex" Grace huffed
"Gracie my darling granddaughter I love you immensely...but you are the child of Quinn and Rachel Fabray I really don't believe you right now." Judy replied
Sofia just chuckled, Judy raised her eyebrow at her making the Latina shut up.
"Right...now...Gracie you're coming with me and Sofia you better get your ass in your car and get back home before your mom gets even more pissed" Judy instructed
"B-"
"Now! Move it!" Judy clapped
With a sigh and a meaningful glance at each other Sofia and Grace let go and headed off to go get married.
~~~ Getting Ready ~~~
After getting an earful from both mothers and her Abuela Sofia finally started to get ready for her wedding. Her hair was done and so was her makeup she just needed to get her dress and shoes on.
Sofia was sitting at her dressing table waiting for Becky to come out of the bathroom in her maid of honour dress. Finally she came out wearing a simple yet elegant deep purple dress that came up to her knees and had a halter neck.
"Wow Becky you don't look half bad" Sofia nodded in approval
"Thanks...though I'm probably gonna freeze my ass off." Becky replied
"Ma said there would be heaters and if not...with my dress we'll both freeze our asses off" Sofia replied
"Speaking of...why aren't you in your dress yet?" Becky asked
"I'm getting there...geez" Sofia huffed
"Well hurry up" Becky urged
"I will...you'll have to turn around though because I don't want you perving on my boobs for you to fantasize about later on" Sofia smirked
Becky just rolled her eyes and turned around. Sofia removed her robe and stepped into her dress. It was a simple white strapless dress that hugged her body and made her boobs look awesome.
"Ok can you zip me up?" Sofia asked
Becky turned around and did up the zipper once she was in her dress Sofia turned around and with a hint of shyness she asked.
"What do you think? Will Gracie like it?"
Becky had always known Sofia was beautiful she hated to admit it but it was true and at some point in the past when they first met back in high school she may have possibly found her to be really hot but that was before she had ever spoke to her. After she opened her mouth her hotness dropped...well that's Becky's story and she was sticking to it. But even still right now Sofia looked gorgeous.
"She'll love it" Becky simply replied.
"Good" Sofia nodded and let out a small nervous sigh.
"You're not gonna cry are you?" Becky teased
"Shut up!" Sofia huffed
Becky just laughed
"I don't know why you're laughing. You cry all the time" Sofia replied
"I do not" Becky argued
"Umm...yeah you do"
"You cried last night"
"I had an emotional moment once...you cry at the drop of a hat" Sofia replied
"Yeah sure whatever"
"Just shut up and hand me my shoes" Sofia huffed
Becky just rolled her eyes and grabbed Sofia's shoes.
"Now put them on me" Sofia ordered
Becky just flipped her off and placed the shoes on the floor.
"You love me really, you told me so last night" Sofia smirked
"Yeah well you told me too" Becky replied a little defensively
"I know" Sofia simply replied as she began to put her shoes on.
Becky was a little surprised at how Sofia was approaching this. In all honesty Becky thought she would have forgotten about it or never bring it up ever again. She really didn't know what to expect right now.
"I meant it" Sofia added though she focused on her shoes and avoided eye contact.
Sure she was trying to be a better friend to Becky but she still had her badass reputation to up hold. She and Becky will probably never be all mushy and cuddly but they could still tell each other how they really feel...just without getting all emotional.
"Really?" Becky asked
"Uh huh" Sofia nodded as she moved onto the other shoe.
"Thanks Sofia"
"Yeah well...just wanted to let you know" She mumbled
Becky just smiled softly to herself.
~~~ Blushing Bride Number Two ~~~
Grace sat on her chair while Charlie did her makeup and Hannah got dressed. She and Charlie both wore similar dresses to Becky. As it was a rushed wedding they couldn't all get the same style. They managed to get the same colour just the designs were different. Grace really didn't mind she was just happy not to be wearing a dress much to Rachel's disappointment. Grace was wearing a white pantsuit very much like the one Madonna wore in Me Against the Music. It was her Aunt Santana's idea. Grace liked it and she was even willing to wear heels today...though she would be packing some flats as well there was no way in hell she would be wearing these shoes all day.
"So did Grandma yell at you the whole way here?" Charlie chuckled as she applied eyeliner on her sister.
"Ugh yes...we weren't going to have sex we were just talking" Grace defended herself
"Yeah ok Gracie" Charlie replied
Hannah just laughed
"We weren't! Why does everyone just assume we were? We don't have sex all the time" Grace huffed
"Yeah I'll believe that when pigs fly…and stop moving" Charlie laughed
"You're all just jealous" Grace pouted and folded her arms.
The movement made Charlie smudge some of the makeup with a huff Charlie grabbed a tissue to fix it up.
"I'm not...since Becky's moved back our sex life has like quadrupled. It's fricking awesome. And it's not just your everyday type of sex...it's like...epic" Hannah replied with a smile
"Hey can I ask you something?" Grace asked as she turned in her seat.
Charlie threw her hands up in frustration. Charlie always found it difficult to do Grace's makeup she would fidget all the fricking time.
Hannah just nodded as she put her shoes on.
"Do you guys...like how often do you...use...you know..." Grace stuttered blushing slightly
"Yeah I have no idea what you're asking me right now Gracie" Hannah chuckled
Charlie wasn't so sure she wanted to be hearing this conversation.
With sigh Grace just blurted it out.
"Do you guys use a strap on? I mean me and you never did but do you and Becky?"
Yep Charlie didn't want to be hearing this conversation. Think of Judy Garland...or Ben! Yep just picture Ben and his smile and his eyes and his body...Charlie went to her happy place and just stood there with a silly grin on her face while the two older girls talked.
"Sometimes" Hannah replied
"Do you like using it?" Grace asked
"Yeah. Why, don't you?" Hannah then asked
"I don't know...I guess it's alright...it's just...weird" Grace shrugged
"You should get one that vibrates...oh my god" Hannah told her with a smirk
Charlie just continued to ignore them...seriously did her entire family just have sex on their mind 24/7? That can't be normal and she would never be like that. So she just went back to thinking about Ben's abs.
Just then there was a knock on the door and Quinn walked in.
"Hey girls you nearly ready?" Quinn asked
"I am...those two just keep talking about things I don't want to know about while I'm just ignoring them and thinking about Ben...I mean...no I was thinking about…musicals because I like musicals and singing and...I'm gonna go check to see if Toby's ready" Charlie rambled then made a quick escape.
"Is she ok?" Hannah asked
"I think she's just a little...freaked out from last night" Quinn mumbled looking down
"Why what happened last night?" Grace asked
"Well...honey you remember two years ago when you kinda...walked in on me and your mama in my office at work? You know when she was under my desk-" Quinn asked
"Yes thank you mom I remember please don't go into details that will bring up those horrible images." Grace interrupted
"Yeah this was much worse than that" Quinn replied sadly
Hannah tried not to laugh while Grace looked a little horrified
"Oh my god poor Charlie"
"What about me? We're the ones who got caught" Quinn pouted
"Mom you always get caught. I don't think there is anyone who hasn't caught you and Ma" Grace replied dryly
Hannah just nodded in agreement. She and Becky had walked in on Quinn and Rachel in the pool back when they were still in high school.
"That's not true." Quinn argued
"Name one of your friends or a family member who hasn't" Grace challenged
Quinn opened her mouth to reply but then stopped when no names came to her.
"You know just because you're getting married today doesn't mean I can't ground you" Quinn replied with a pout.
Grace just laughed
~~~ Sue ~~~
Santana was ready to cut a bitch...seriously she needed to get out of the kitchen soon because those knifes were so frigging tempting right about now.
"Mediocre at best" Sue grumbled from her spot at the breakfast bar as she took a sip of her coffee.
Santana just took a deep breath and counted to ten.
"Ma can you help me with this tie" Ben came into the kitchen
Santana pretty much ran to her son like he was some kind of saviour. Sure she had no idea how to tie a tie but that wasn't the point. Brittany was the one who tied ties but she busy at the moment.
Sue just watched and judged Santana's attempts and just looked disappointed in her ex-Cheerio captain.
"Outta the way Big Boobs" Sue ordered as she pretty much pushed Santana out of the way and undid the mess she had made of Ben's tie.
"I thought you gay people knew how to do these sorts of things" Sue muttered
"Then how do you know? Got something to confess Coach?" Santana smirked
Sue just glared at her which actually scared Santana. Ben just watched in fascination. No one ever scared his Mami...except for his mom.
Sue went back to fixing his tie and Ben couldn't help but notice her eyeing him off.
"Definitely a Pierce...there's no way a Lopez has that bone structure" Sue muttered
"He's a Lopez-Pierce Sue...he's both." Santana reminded her
Before Sue could add anything else Brittany came down the stairs all smiles.
"She's ready! And she looks beautiful" Brittany announced
Becky and Sofia entered the kitchen to show themselves off. Brittany just stood there with a massive smile planted on her face which would probably be there all day and night…possibly even all the way through to tomorrow as well.
"So Ma…what do you think?" Sofia asked as she struck a pose.
Santana couldn't help the small smile that appeared when she saw her little girl all dressed up ready to go and get married…not gonna cry.
"You look beautiful Ducky" Santana told her softly.
Sofia smiled and was a little surprised her ma didn't make a joke or tell her she looked like a white rhino or something.
"Thanks Mami"
"Aww you two!" Brittany all but squealed then pulled her two brunettes into a big hug.
Sofia just chuckled at her mom's excitement.
While this was happening Sue just stood there watching them with an odd facial expression…oh no wait that was a smile…yep defiantly a smile…maybe it was just gas…
"Well this has been several nauseating minutes that I will never get back…Boobs the Second, Other Q…let's get a move on…before I start getting bored and have to resort to actually caring about you people." Sue muttered before she left the room.
Sofia and Becky just looked confused.
"You get used to it" Brittany waved it off
"She kind of terrifies me" Ben mumbled
"Benny she would terrify Hitler, Stalin and Mussolini." Santana replied
"How did you put up with that for five years?" Becky asked
"Well…we prayed…a lot" Santana replied
Becky just nodded
"Move it!" Sue's voice rang out throughout the house
"Did she bring a megaphone?" Sofia asked
~~~ Wedding Of The Decade ~~~
Sofia stood with her mothers in a small dressing room of the house that the garden belonged too. She and Grace had their own room so they couldn't see each other even though they already broke that tradition earlier that morning. Sofia had been pacing the floor for a good ten minutes now while her mothers just stood there watching in slight amusement.
"How you feeling Ducky?" Santana smirked
"Good...I'm good, fine...perfectly fine why wouldn't I be fine? I'm great!" Sofia nervously rambled
Santana just snickered to herself.
"San don't freak her out" Brittany frowned
"I didn't do anything" Santana defended
There was a knock on the door then Becky popped her head in.
"You ready?" She smiled
"Uh huh, sure…ok" Sofia nervously nodded
Santana just rolled her eyes and pulled her daughter in for a big hug.
"Stop panicking…Gracie loves you, you love her and before you know it you'll be married and off having lady babies…I'm proud of you Ducky." Santana whispered
"Thanks Mami" Sofia sighed
"Love you lots" Santana added
"You too" Sofia smiled
Santana kissed her on the forehead and gave her one last smile before she and Becky headed out. Brittany just stood there smiling at the scene before her. But Sofia's brief moment of calm was just that…brief.
"Mom...I'm freaking out" Sofia panicked
Brittany came over to her daughter hugging her from behind. Wrapping her arms tightly around her and rested her chin on her tanned shoulder.
"Ducky...you'll be fine. Once you get up there and look into Gracie's eyes everything will fade away ok?" Brittany soothed her daughter
Sofia just nodded
"You ready for the long walk?" Brittany smiled
"Ready as I'll ever be" Sofia replied
Brittany let go and then linked her arm with her daughter's.
"You have no idea how happy I am right now Ducky, I'm so proud of you" Brittany spoke softly.
Sofia didn't reply she just kissed her mom on the cheek and that's all that was needed.
Grace was actually calm. She didn't think she would be. She honestly thought she would be a nervous wreck pacing back and forward like a fool, even with what had happened this morning Grace wasn't at all nervous. She was just excited and couldn't wait to get out there and kiss her wife.
Sure she and Sofia still had their issues to work out and let go of their insecurities but Grace knew they could do it together. They were meant for each other there was no doubt in Grace's mind about that. And no strip club would come between them that's for damn sure.
Quinn and Rachel were with Grace in the other dressing room in the house. Quinn was fusing with Grace's hair making sure it was perfect she only did this to avoid getting over emotional. Rachel on the other hand just stood there and tried to contain herself. She had randomly burst into tears ten minutes ago when Hannah came to collect the rings for the ceremony.
"You doing ok over there Ma?" Grace chuckled
"I'm good." Rachel sniffed
Quinn just smiled at her wife.
"How about you Gracie?" Quinn asked
"I'm fine...I can't wait to get out there" Grace replied
"Aw...my little gummy bear is all grown up." Quinn smiled proudly and a little teary eyed.
There were a lot of proud people here today.
"Mom don't cry too" Grace chuckled
"I don't do things like that" Quinn scoffed playfully
"No? Do I need to remind you of the airport incident?" Grace replied
"I had something in my eye" Quinn defended
"Sure ok mom"
Charlie then came into the room to inform them that they are ready to start. Rachel came over and pulled her daughter into a big hug. Grace just chuckled and hugged her mother back.
"I love you so much my little Gracie" Rachel said her voice starting to break again
"Mama don't cry." Grace gently told her
"I'm sorry baby I can't help it" Rachel chuckled at herself as the tears began to fall.
Grace grabbed a tissue and helped wipe them away without ruining her mother's makeup. Quinn hugged her wife from behind and kissed her temple.
"Rach...you're gonna make me cry in a minute if you don't stop" Quinn told her
"And we all know that never ends well" Grace added
Rachel just laughed through her tears.
"Ok...ok I'm alright..." Rachel took a few deep breaths and wiped away the remaining tears giving them the old Rachel Berry Smile.
The guests were seated and Sue was getting bored...she missed her hover craft she even started to contemplate throwing sticks at Mercedes for shits and giggles. The garden was quaint with lots of purple and pink and blue flowers. Fortunately it wasn't too cold. The guest list was roughly 30 people who were seated by a small rotunda that sat in the garden.
The music started up and Ally was the first one out. She skipped along the aisle throwing the rose petals to the ground while everyone cooed and awwed at the little girl. Even Sue thought she was adorable though she didn't show it. Ally was loving all the attention. When she got to the end she ran up to Maya who smiled proudly at the little girl Ally just grinned and jumped on Maya's lap.
Next down the aisle was Toby and Hannah the pair linked arms as they walked towards the end. Toby looked quiet dashing in his black suit and purple tie. Next up was Ben and Beth then the two maids of honour, Charlie and Becky. Once the wedding party had made it up to the rotunda it was Grace's turn to make that long walk. Grace couldn't decide who to choose to walk her down so she ended up having both her mothers give her away. She just hoped her mothers would be able to contain themselves and not burst into tears as they walked down the aisle. Thankfully they held on till they reached the end and hugged their daughter one last time before taking their seats.
Grace stood nervously by Charlie as she waited for Sofia to come. Her little sister gave her hand a reassuring squeeze as they waited. Soon enough the music changed indicating Sofia's arrival. With bated breath Grace turned to see her beautiful wife-to-be walk towards her.
Sofia had the same problem of choosing who was going to give her away. She knew her mother wanted to walk her down the aisle but she didn't want her Ma to feel left out and she kinda wanted her Ma to walk with her as well so both Santana and Brittany walked down the aisle with Sofia.
Sofia was still freaking out and hoped to god she didn't trip and fall as she walked. But once Sofia got up there and locked eyes with Grace everything else didn't matter it was just the two of them.
"Welcome everybody to this unholy union that will forever bind the Lopez's with the Fabray's...in an ideal world this would be some strange super-creature...one that I may or may not have attempted to create during the years...unfortunately it's just their spawns getting married. When I was asked to officiate this I was honoured, then appalled, then filled with rage, then a little hungry and then went back to honoured. Let's just hope these two won't bore me to tears like the older versions did." Sue began the ceremony
Sofia and Grace just gave each other strange looks as they listened to the old woman ramble on. Everybody who knew Sue just rolled their eyes and just ignored her. Those who didn't...weren't sure if she was joking or being serious.
"And now for the most boring part of this godforsaken ceremony...the vows. So Boobs The Second you're up first." Sue announced.
Sofia still wasn't sure how to take Sue Sylvester but right now she just focused on getting through her vows without crying because she's a Lopez-Pierce (though not for much longer) and they don't cry.
"Gracie...you are my best friend, we grew up together and we've had our moments" Sofia chuckled
"Then we became so much more and at first it was a little bumpy but I'm totally not sorry for taking you away from Hannah" Sofia smirked
Hannah just rolled her eyes.
"I know we've both got our insecurities but I promise you I'll never let them get in the way of us. I promise to always make you feel loved and wanted and needed. Because I love you, I want you and I need you, only you. You're the love of my life and I could never be loved by anyone sweeter than you." Sofia finished as several tears fell down her face.
She would swear for eternity it was rain and not tears.
Grace just stood there with a silly grin on her face and a few tears in her eyes.
And she wasn't the only one. Brittany sat there as proud as all get out as she held her wife's hand and clutched a tissue in the other. Santana discretely wiped away a stray tear...she didn't know where that came from...she is far too badass to cry.
Quinn and Rachel sat together with Quinn's arm around her wife's shoulder smiling brightly at their daughter and Sofia. Rachel had started crying again...pretty much from the moment she sat down.
Becky gave Hannah a loving smile which Hannah returned. Ben and Charlie gave each other shy smiles while Toby looked over at Maya and Ally.
"Ok Fabray you're next" Sue spoke up.
Grace nodded and took a deep breath. Sofia gently squeezed her hands for reassurance.
"Sofia...I think I've loved you since forever. I know you don't believe in god but I believe he made this happen. That he let our mothers find each other and then that led to us finding each other. And all those other people were there to help us get to where we are right now. I honestly don't know what I did to be this lucky to have you, but whatever it was I'm so thankful." Grace smiled
Sofia was already crying.
"You're my everything, my soul mate, my best friend and now you're gonna be my wife. I love you Sofia, I love you more than anything in this world I always have...and I always will" Grace finished with a bright smile as she reached over to gently wipe a few of the tears from Sofia's face.
"Great! Ok moving on...Waltzing Matilda rings!" Sue held her hand out
Hannah rolled her eyes. Yes she's Australian let's move on now. Hannah grabbed the rings and handed them over to Sue.
After the rings Sue asked if there was anybody here who thinks they should not get married to speak now or forever hold their peace. Brittany glared at everyone during those few seconds.
"I now pronounce you wife and wife. Ladies congratulations you can kiss your bride" Sue ended the ceremony.
Grace and Sofia smiled brightly before they pulled each other in for their first kiss as a married couple. Everyone clapped and cheered. Brittany and Rachel were the first to jump out of their seats clapping wildly both women pulled their wives to stand up with them and soon enough the couple got their standing ovation.
~~~ The Reception ~~~
After many photos and lots of tears the wedding party headed over to where the reception was being held. Sofia and Grace got to travel by limo both girls noticed the name of the limo company and just smiled. Brittany had set it up and seeing as Sofia couldn't arrive in a pumpkin style coach this would have to be the next best thing so Brittany went with 'Fairy Tale Pumpkins Limo Service'.
"Your mom is awesome" Grace chuckled as they sat inside the limo
Sofia just nodded and smiled
"Hey Gracie"
"Yeah?"
"We're fucking married!" Sofia cheered with an enormous smile
Grace just smiled back and leaned in to kiss her wife. The kiss then turned into a make out session then turned into heavy petting and some removal of clothes...and the limo hadn't even drove off yet!
"You look beautiful in this dress" Grace mumbled as she nibbled on Sofia's neck and ran her hands all over her body.
"And you look hot in this waistcoat" Sofia smirked then went back to kissing Grace.
Finally the limo started moving but that didn't really stop Sofia and Grace.
When they reached their destination the four mothers of the brides waited by the car for them to get out. But it soon became apparent they weren't getting out anytime soon which only meant one thing.
"Why do I have too?" Quinn whined
"Because you lost...I told you to stop being so predictable. Everyone knows you go with scissors and so you always loose" Rachel replied
"But I don't want too" Quinn whined again
"Tough shit Quinnie." Santana smirked
"I hate you all" Quinn pouted
"Just knock on the window first...hopefully they'll hear you and won't be naked by the time you open the door." Brittany gave her a small encouraging smile.
Quinn had drawn the short straw and was the one who needed to tell the brides that they needed to come out for the reception sometime today.
With a deep breath and a final glare to her friends and wife Quinn hesitantly made her way up to the limo and knocked on the tinted window. After a few seconds nothing happened. Quinn sighed in frustration so she knocked again a little harder this time and then stood back and waited. She looked over her shoulder at the other three women Brittany gave her two thumbs up and a smile. With a heavy sigh Quinn turned back around and went back up to the window.
"Girls!" Quinn raised her voice as she knocked again.
Standing this close to the limo Quinn could hear the faint sounds of someone moaning from inside the vehicle. Freaked out by it Quinn headed back to the others.
"I tried...someone else can do it now" Quinn stated.
"Oh for Christ's sake. You're such a pussy Quinn" Santana huffed
Santana marched over to the limo and flung the door open making the two girls inside scream and scramble to cover themselves.
"Girls...save it for tonight and get your asses outta this limo and into that reception afores I ends you" Santana threatened then slammed the door shut.
Finally Sofia and Grace got out of the limo their nice clothes now a little crumpled and Sofia's hair was a mess. Both blushed as they passed their mothers and headed to the reception area where they were introduced to everyone as Mrs. and Mrs. Lopez-Fabray.
The party went on through till late with everyone having a blast. Brittany cried when she got to dance with Sofia then cried again when she danced with Grace then cried even harder when Sofia and Grace shared their first dance together.
"Are you crying?" Grace asked a little amused
"No" Sofia sobbed into Grace's shoulder
Grace just smiled and held onto Sofia a little bit tighter as they swayed to the music.
The speeches thankfully weren't too embarrassing. Though Charlie did bring a PowerPoint presentation but it was short and sweet. Sofia cried yet again when Becky stood up and spoke though she would later deny it.
The food was great and booze was plentiful so all in all it was a great night as the many couples danced together and had a good time.
Right at this moment there was a slow song playing and all the couples were dancing to it. Grace had her arms around Sofia as they gently swayed to the music. Rachel and Quinn held each other while they danced. Mercedes dragged her husband up to dance too she and Santana shared a small smile when they noticed Lilly and Amanda slow dancing together. Beth got up with her husband to join everyone while Toby held his daughter as he and Maya danced. Becky and Hannah were strangely missing during this time as they were off somewhere more secluded doing a different type of dance...the horizontal tango!
Ben nervously made his way up to Charlie who was still sitting at the table looking out and watching all the couples. Ben stood in front of her and held his hand out. With a small smile Charlie took his hand and let him lead her to the dance floor where he pulled her in close.
"I didn't get the chance before to tell you that you look really beautiful tonight" Ben softly told her.
Charlie bit her bottom lip and just blushed at the compliment.
"Well you look very handsome" She replied as she brushed his shoulder and the invisible lint.
"I really want to kiss you" Ben confessed
"Then kiss me" Charlie smiled
"What about everyone?" Ben asked
"I don't care…and neither will they" Charlie replied
Ben just smiled before he pulled Charlie in closer and kissed her. Though it didn't last as long as they had wanted because they were interrupted by some obnoxious sound.
"Woo! Get some Benny!" Sofia yelled pretty much in his ear making several people around them stop and see what the commotion was about.
The couple pulled apart both sporting red faces. But they couldn't stop smiling. Grace came up wrapping her arms around Sofia and gave Charlie and Ben a happy smile before she dragged her wife away from them to give them some space.
"My sister can be really annoying sometimes" Ben chuckled
"Tell me about it" Charlie replied.
As the night went on Santana found herself to be standing next to the one person she didn't want to be standing next to as they waited in line for the bathroom. Though note to self when hosting a lesbian wedding make sure the ladies room has more than two stalls!
"Hello Coach" Santana grudgingly spoke
"Pierce" Sue nodded
Santana was at least grateful that Sue got her last name right. There was an awkward silence now though.
"Having fun?" Santana asked
Sue didn't reply so Santana just stood there awkwardly.
"I'm proud of you Santana" Sue finally spoke with that rare kindness she had
Santana looked a little surprised and unsure what she was supposed to say or do in this type of situation. She even thought that maybe she had misheard her.
"You are?"
"You've done well for yourself. You and Blondie and Q...even though she insists on staying with that Chia pet that still sings with weird facial expressions." Sue replied
"I've learnt to just block it out now" Santana said
Sue just nodded
By this time of the evening Rachel had discovered the microphone and started singing...then Charlie started singing and soon enough Ben was up there too.
"I've been a Cheerleading coach for a long time and to this day I have never come across anyone as messed up, socially stunted and totally embarrassing and weird as my unholy trinity." Sue added with a wistful sigh
Santana wasn't sure if that was a good thing or not.
"Maybe it's the gay thing" Sue mused
Santana just rolled her eyes.
"Maybe that's where I went wrong all those years...the key to success was having three power hungry lesbians on top" Sue continued to ramble
By this point Santana wasn't sure if Sue was still talking to her or if she was talking to herself.
In the end she didn't care because the line was moving up and she really needed to pee. Beth came out of the bathroom passing them on her way.
"Mini Q" Sue nodded as Beth walked by her and she headed into the bathroom.
Beth looked surprised that Sue actually remembered her. It had been years since she was a Cheerio.
"H-Hi Coach" She called out then turned to Santana
"I can't believe she remembers me" Beth whispered
"She remembers everyone...Brittany thinks she's actually a robot...Over the years I actually began to believe my wife" Santana replied
Beth just nodded in agreement.
It was around midnight when everybody started to leave so Sofia and Grace got ready to throw the bouquet and the garter. Sofia went first as she threw her flowers behind her then quickly turned around to see who caught it. She grinned when it was relieved that Amanda caught it. Santana just cackled and gave two thumbs up to Mercedes. Amanda just blushed and Lilly came over to give her a sweet kiss on the cheek.
Next up was Grace throwing Sofia's garter, the brunette had a hoot and a half of a time getting it off her wife then everyone cracked up when she threw it and it landed in Becky's drink just as she was about to take a sip. The blonde just glared at everyone and took a drink anyways…garter and all.
The limo waited for the newlyweds as they said their goodbyes before heading off to a hotel room for the night before they flew out for their honeymoon. By this time Brittany and Rachel were crying yet again while Santana and Quinn were arguing over who has better boobs out of the two which nearly ended with two topless women out on the side of the road. Luckily Judy and Maria were there to stop them. Santana then got upset because she thought she had missed saying goodbye to her daughter and her new daughter in law. So with a hysterically crying Latina on one arm and a horny drunk Quinn on the other Judy moved them over to the limo to say goodbye and then told them to go home to sleep it off.
After a big farewell Sofia and Grace were off to start their lives as a married couple while their mothers stood by the curb crying their eyes out…good times.
"Rach…Rachel…" Quinn kept mumbled
"What Quinn?" Rachel sniffed
"I really…like…really, really think you should have sex with me right now. It will make you feel better" Quinn slurred
"We can't we're outside and we're not alone" Rachel simply replied
"I dun care…San and Britt have seen it all before…come on Rach…pleaseeee" Quinn replied
"Noooo"
"Please…just a quick fuck…pleaseeee" Quinn whined
"Quinn…wait till we get home" Rachel told her
"That's no fair" Quinn pouted
"Sanny…please stop crying" Brittany pleaded as she sat with her wife on the curb and rubbed soothing circles on her back
"But my baby!" Santana cried
"I know…I know…" Brittany sighed
~~~ Cowboys and Cowgirls ~~~
Toby carried a sleeping Ally out of the car while Maya grabbed their bag. The pair walked up to the small cabin at the ranch and went inside. The trio had left the wedding earlier than most because Ally was getting tired and irritable and they wanted to get out to the ranch before it got too late.
"Poor thing she tried so hard to stay awake" Maya chuckled softly as she helped Toby put her to bed.
"I know...she won't be a happy camper in the morning" Toby agreed
Maya grabbed Ally's pink and purple pyjamas and placed them on the bed while Toby began to take her shoes off. The couple dressed Ally into her PJs then tucked her into bed both giving her a kiss goodnight.
"Do you want to sit outside for a while?" Toby asked
"Sure...I'll go get the blanket." Maya smiled
They headed out to sit under the porch, Maya placed the blanket over both of their legs to keep them warm.
"The stars are really bright tonight" Maya mumbled
"Yeah" Toby replied
"I missed this a lot when I was living in LA." Maya told him
"What was it like there?" Toby asked
Maya just shrugged
"It was...pretty much like in the movies I guess. I don't know I didn't see much. I was too busy with college then I met...I preferred New York" Maya relied
"Was he always like that?" Toby then asked
Maya sort of shrank back into herself, which had been a common thing every time Alex was mentioned.
"I don't want to talk about that" Maya mumbled looking down.
"Maya...you can't keep it all bottled in. You don't have to tell me if you don't want to but you should talk to someone" Toby gently told her
"Why? It's not going to change what he did to me" Maya replied a little defensively.
"I know it won't. But it will let you heal properly...it'll help you move on with your life. Otherwise he'll still have power over you and no matter what happens at the trial, if he still has that power then he's already won." Toby replied
Maya sat there quietly contemplating what Toby had said. She knew it was true but it was just painful reliving those memories. She just wanted to forget.
"He wasn't always like that" Maya spoke softly
Toby was a little surprised that she was opening up so he didn't say anything and just let her speak.
"When I met him, he was charming...sweet...it started after the engagement." Maya told him.
"I don't know why...but he just got extremely jealous and controlling. He used lock me in the house sometimes so I couldn't go out and see my friends. One time I tried to get out but he caught me and so for my punishment he...he has this studded leather belt...ten for disobeying and twenty as a reminder…anyway things were getting better...he got promoted and his new job was here in New York. I convinced him to let me go first and find us a nice apartment. I drove because that meant I would spend even more time away from him. He had the car fitted with some tracking device so he would know where I was at all times." Maya continued
Toby just sat there feeling angry at Alex and he kinda wanted to punch his face in again or use his belt on him and see how he likes it.
"That weekend he came to visit. He just completely lost it. He found one of Ally's drawings and wanted to know how I got it...I told him it was nothing but he wouldn't believe me or his fist wouldn't...so I told him about you...obviously that didn't go to well. " Maya added
"Maya...I'm so sorry" Toby murmured
The brunette turned to look at Toby, the man had tears in his eyes after listening to her story and imagining how scared and hurt and alone she must have been.
"It's not your fault Toby" Maya sadly told him
"I should have done more...I knew something wasn't right...god Maya you nearly died because of him. I should have gotten there sooner!" Toby was actually crying now and Toby very rarely cried.
"It wasn't your fault" Maya repeated
"I should have gone to LA with you. I wanted too...I wanted a lot of things for us." Toby admitted
Maya just smiled sadly
"But if you did...you wouldn't have Ally"
Toby just nodded sadly.
"Toby...I need to tell you something"
"You can tell me anything" He softly replied
"When Ally called us her parents...I...It felt...right. I love your daughter she's an amazing little person with her bright eyes and adorable smile and she makes me laugh so hard sometimes." Maya smiled as she spoke
Toby couldn't help but smile too.
"I...I don't want to impose though...she's your daughter...not mine" Maya looked down.
"You're not imposing...I love that you love her as much as you do. I love that the two of you share a bond together...you'd make a great mom." Toby replied honestly
Maya just smiled at that.
"I was terrified of marrying Alex...I knew he wanted kids...I didn't want them because if he could do that to me than what's stopping him from doing that to our kids?" Maya replied
"People like that should be castrated" Toby commented
"Toby...Can...will you go with me? To the trail?" Maya nervously asked
"Of course...Though I'm not sure I'll be able to not kill Alex if I see him" Toby replied
"Toby"
"Can I at least throw something at him?" He asked
Maya just chuckled
"I just want you to be prepared...the lawyers will make me go into more detail than what I've told you tonight…I've pretty much given you the PG version" She added
"I won't do anything stupid I promise…and no matter how bad it gets just remember that I'll be right there. If you need me I'll be there." Toby replied
"You're so good to me" Maya stated quietly
"It's because I love you" Toby replied honestly
Maya looked up not sure she heard that right.
"I love you Maya...I always have" Toby repeated
Maya couldn't help it she tried not too but she couldn't stop it from happening...she just cried. Toby reached over wrapping his arm around her and pulling her in close. Maya instantly melted into his embrace and let him hold her while she broke down.
~~~ Not Tonight ~~~
After a very long day and night and after she finally stopped crying Santana flopped into her nice big comfy bed and cuddled up to her wife. Brittany pulled her into an embrace and kissed her deeply.
"Mmm…that was nice" Santana smiled lazily after the kiss was over
Brittany just smiled and nodded as she gently ran her hand up and down Santana's back.
"Today was great…don't you think?" Brittany asked
"It was…I even got Quinn drunk again…I've missed my drinking partner" Santana replied
"Well don't get used to it, Rachel won't allow it"
Santana just huffed
"Should have got rid of the dwarf back in high school" She grumbled
"I know you love her too Sanny so don't even try" Brittany giggled
Santana just narrowed her eyes but didn't deny it.
"San?"
"Yeah?"
"How long do you think they'll make me wait for grandbabies?" Brittany asked
Santana just laughed
"Britt-Britt…let them enjoy their honeymoon first kay?"
"Fine" Brittany sighed
"Good…now…lets go to sleep, I'm exhausted" Santana yawned
"Oh…but I wanted sexy times" Brittany pouted
"Babe…I'm too tired…and besides I don't want to be getting all up on this with Coach down the hallway" Santana explained
"That's never stopped us before…we had sex at Cheer camp and she was in the tent next to us…and I'm pretty sure our walls are thicker than a tent" Brittany replied
"Yeah…Britt and that's why we had to run those extra ten laps the next morning…besides I kinda got the feeling that Coach wasn't the only one who heard us that night…I mean Quinn was sharing the tent with us as well." Santana rambled
"Yeah but that was when she was playing straight" Brittany stated
"So…I'm pretty sure she got off on it…wouldn't surprise me. And I'm not just talking about Q…I'm pretty sure the whole squad heard us…didn't you notice the weird looks we were getting?" She asked
"Not really…I was too busy looking at you" Brittany replied
"Ooo….smooth talker" Santana chuckled
"I try" Brittany shrugged with a small grin
"Come on Sanny…I want to have sex" Brittany then pouted
"Britt…I'll probably fall asleep while I'm knuckle deep inside you…can't we wait till tomorrow when Coach is gone and we have the house to ourselves?" Santana yawned
"Fine…but you better make it awesome" Brittany huffed
"I'll blow your mind sideways" Santana promised as her eyes started to droop.
"You better…love you Bubbles"
"Love you too Chicken" Santana mumbled
~~~ A Drunken Fool ~~~
With the help of her fathers Rachel finally managed to get Quinn up to their bedroom. It was a job and a half getting the woman out of her clothes and into her PJs because she was just not cooperating.
"Quinn…for the last time…put your pants back on" Rachel huffed
"Come over here and make me" Quinn grinned as she stood on the bed holding her pants behind her back…I would like to point out that she was actually completely naked right now.
Rachel had given up trying to get Quinn to put her top on and it looked like she would have to give up on the pants too.
"Quinn" Rachel sighed
"Hey you owe me sexy times…you promised" Quinn pointed out.
"Well if you get down from there I might consider it" Rachel replied
In an instant Quinn was off the bed and standing in front of her wife wearing a silly grin on her face. Although in her haste she nearly toppled over ass over tit and would have probably seriously injured herself. But fortunately that did not happen.
"You are such a goober Quinn" Rachel chuckled softly
"Admit it…you think I'm adorable" Quinn smirked
"I think you're a drunken fool" Rachel replied
"A drunken fool who is totally gonna get her sexy on" Quinn added as she pulled her wife in close pressing their bodies together.
"Maybe" Rachel teased
"No maybes…only yeses…and lots of oh gods! Harder! Faster! And Right there!" Quinn replied with breathy moans
Rachel just shook her head and smiled to herself. Quinn was always fun when drunk. Though half the time she would pass out during sex and would get grumpy in the morning.
"Oh alright then" Rachel sighed playfully
She could never refuse Quinn.
~~~ No News Is Better Than Any News ~~~
Rachel carried a tray of coffee mugs into the living room where her two dads were sitting watching the morning news. Rachel just smiled at the sight. She had missed having her dads around all the time. As they got older they didn't visit as often as they used to they would talk all the time on the phone and Skype but it wasn't the same as having them right there at least now Rachel could actually hug her dads properly.
"Morning" Rachel smiled brightly as she placed the tray down.
"Morning sweetheart" Leroy smiled back
Michael just gave his daughter a warm smile before picking up his coffee.
"Where's Quinn? Still in bed?" Leroy chuckled
"Yes…I think all the excitement from yesterday has drained her…poor thing" Rachel grinned
"You sure that's it? Or was it that last glass of wine and the dancing on the tables with Santana that did her in?" Michael asked with a raised eyebrow
Rachel just laughed
"Or is she just avoiding us because she kept apologising to us for the two of you having 'sexual relations' in our swimming pool" Leroy chuckled
Rachel blushed ever so slightly and just chuckled to herself. She had stumbled upon Quinn and her fathers towards the end of the night. The blonde had been going on and on apologising for every time she and Rachel had 'sexual relations' (as Quinn called it) at Rachel's dads house especially that one time in the pool.
"She's not avoiding you…she's just hung over" Rachel assured them
"I hope so" Leroy replied
"So our little Gracie is a married woman now and flying off to her honeymoon…time flies huh?" Michael spoke up
"That it does…gosh it was like yesterday when I gave birth to her and now she's all grown up…all my babies are growing up" Rachel sighed sadly
Michael and Leroy just smiled at their daughter.
"What about Toby and Maya? Are they back together? They seemed pretty cosy at the wedding" Leroy asked
"That's still up in the air…I know Toby wants more but Maya's going through a lot right now and I think we'll just have to wait and see" Rachel sighed
"What do you mean?" Michael asked
"Well…Maya's fiancé…he was abusive and there's a trial next week. Toby beat up the sad excuse for a man and he's taken it upon himself to protect her…I think he just doesn't want to lose her again" Rachel explained.
Michael and Leroy sat there a little shocked at that
"Is she alright?" Leroy asked
"As far as we know…I mean she had to have surgery because of a skull fracture and I know she still has tremors in her hands sometimes…emotionally I'm not sure. Toby said she hasn't really talked about what happened." Rachel sighed
"Wow…did Toby at least disfigure the bastard?" Michael asked
"Almost…he was arrested because of it" Rachel replied
"How come we're just hearing all this now? Why didn't anyone tell us?" Leroy pouted
"You and Dad were on your cruise when this happened." Rachel explained
"Morning everyone" Quinn grumbled as she made her way into the living room and setting herself down next to her wife cuddling up to her side
"Morning sweetie" Rachel patted her on the arm.
"Don't yell" Quinn cringed
"Feeling alright over there Quinn?" Leroy asked with a smirk
"Peachy" Quinn mumbled with her eyes closed
"Should you be drinking like that with your heart?" Michael asked
"No she shouldn't" Rachel replied firmly
"It was a special occasion…my baby is only getting married once so I get to celebrate…now leave me alone" Quinn pouted
"Just go back to bed Quinn" Rachel rolled her eyes at her wife's grumpiness
"Can't make me" Quinn mumbled stubbornly
"Actually its good that you're both down here" Michael spoke up
"Why?" Rachel asked
"Well…your father and I have something important to talk to you both about" Michael replied sounding serious
"What is it?" Rachel asked getting slightly worried
Quinn sat up a little straighter and opened her eyes
"Well…when we head back to Lima…" Michael looked over at his husband for a little help
"Girls…I have to go and have a little surgery done when we get back" Leroy finished
"What? Why?" Rachel asked on the verge of freaking out
Quinn held her wife's hand to try and calm her
With a heavy sigh Leroy told them
"I have prostate cancer"
Rachel's heart sank as did Quinn's.
"I would have told you sooner but I didn't want to put a damper on the wedding." Leroy told them
"Daddy" Rachel whispered as her eyes started to tear up
"Honey it's ok…don't get upset. Medicine has improved over the years I'm going to be fine" Leroy tried to reassure her.
Rachel just nodded but her tears were falling anyways.
"Rach why don't you go with your dads" Quinn suggested
"Huh?"
"Go back to Lima with them…I'm sure you guys would love that" Quinn said as she looked over at the two men
They couldn't help but smile and nod at that.
"A-Are you sure?" Rachel asked
"Of course…Rach…I know you'll just worry being so far away so why don't you go and then you will see that your dad will be fine and you get to spend more time with them as well" Quinn replied
"It would be nice to spend some more time together" Michael added
"O-Of course I would love to go…but what about work and the house and-"
"Rach…I'm sure you will be able to get time off and I'm sure I can manage a few days without you…although we will definitely be using Skype at night" Quinn replied…she muttered that last part.
~~~ I Do, Love You, With All My Heart ~~~
Grace and Sofia sat together in first class drinking Champaign as they flew over America till they reached their destination of blue Hawaii for their three week honeymoon. Their grandparents had put some money together and bought their tickets and accommodation as their wedding gift. Sofia leaned over to kiss her wife…it felt so good to be able to say that now. Grace just smiled and laced their fingers together over the hand rest. Life could not get any better.
