"Hey Santana" a very familiar voice came from the door and Rachel knew straight away who it was. Dani saw the look Rachel had in her face so being curious she walked to the door for a closer look "Who is it babe?" Santana was lost for words and Dani looked at the woman up and down "I didn't think we where having more guests, HI im Dani im Santana's girlfriend" Dani extended her arm to the lady and she politely shook her hand.

"Santana honey don't leave our guest standing out there, come on in" Dani took Santana's hand and pulled her out of the door way. Santana hadn't spoke a word yet and Dani seemed a little worried she could usually never get her to shut up. "would you like a drink .." Dani was being polite but she saw out of the corner of her eye Rachel jumping about waiving her arms like she was having some sort of fit. Dani looked over and Rachel was shaking her head no and telling Dani to come over to the kitchen.

Dani knew something was up at this point. "sorry I didn't quite catch your name?" Santana looked at Dani. Santana looked like she had just saw a ghost the blood had drained from her face and she stood next to Dani before the woman began to speak "hey im Brittany" Dani looked at Santana and it soon became like one of those movies where they all looked at each other at different times knowing what was going on but none could really muster up the words to speak. "Brit, what are you doing in new York?" Santana finally broke the silence and the tension in the air was so think it could have been cut with a knife. "I came to see you, Blaine told me where you guys where living I thought id come visit and surprise you, but it looks like we are all pretty surprised" Santana looked at Dani her colour was starting to come back into her face "Dani could you go get me a drink please, whatever is the strongest thing you can find" Dani nodded and kissed the back of santana's had before letting go and walking into the kitchen.

Rachel followed Dani and they stood in the kitchen bickering over nothing "Its that Thee Brittany like Santana's ex?" Rachel moved closer to Dani, with no wall around the kitchen they had to speak in a low tone to not be heard by the two girls who were still standing beside the door staring at each other "yes that's her, I don't know why she just thought it was alright to turn up like that, I think Santana is shocked she hasn't saw her in months and now she just turns up out of the blue its bound to be heard for her" Dani looked over at her girlfriend who looked so crushed "do you think I should ask Brittany to leave, or would that be rude? Its just I can see the hurt in San's eyes I cant let Brittany just stand there and crush her spirit like that!" Rachel shook her head "no it wouldn't be rude but do you think Santana would want you to just chuck her out, She was Santana's first proper girlfriend they're bound to have emotional ties somehow" Dani hated it when Rachel was right she just couldn't bare to see Santana stood there looking shocked . she found a bottle of vodka under the cupboard hid at the back.

"here you go babe, it was all I could find" Santana smiled at Dani and in one swoop she downed the contents of the glass and handed it back "Jesus where did you find that?" "it was in the back of the cupboard" Santana scrunched up her face "god that tasted vile no wonder why lady Hummel hid it back there" Dani took the glass and brought it back to the kitchen.

Brittany was the first to strike up the conversation "So Dani seems great how long have you two been going out?" Santana looked at Brittany with scolding eyes "about two and a half months, and I know what you're thinking we were well over before I started dating Dani" Brittany looked to the ground. Santana is one of very few people that can read her like a book. "oh, how did you meet?" "we work together in a diner down on Broadway" Brittany lifted her head and looked at Santana "does she make you happy?" Santana nodded and attempted to speak she got this massive lump in your throat kind of like the one you get before you cry "yes, she does and being with her makes me extremely happy, after we broke up I didn't think id find true happiness again but…" she paused for a moment to dry the tears out of her eyes and Dani came to her side to re-assure her everything was okay"… for the time in a long time I feel truly happy, she's perfect in every single way and I love her" Brittany heard those 3 words and they hit her like a ton of bricks, but she could be sad or upset, Santana said it herself and Brit couldn't argue with that "well then, as long as your happy I cant really complain, but Dani seriously… hurt Santana and il kick your ass" they all burst out laughing at Brittany's little attempt to threaten Dani

The tention seemed to ease up a little and it wasn't as awkward anymore they all sat in the living room and discussed how Brittany had gotten into MIT and how she was working towards a secret goal "they've got me into college as a late entry they made me leave McKinley early so I could come help them – they say im some super genius who baffles them with how smart I am, if you ask me they're all kinda crazy" everyone burst out laughing "See Brit I always told you that you're a freaking genius!" Brittany nodded and turned to Dani "she's right she always told me that, she was the only one who ever believed that" Dani looked at Santana and squeased her hand.

Kurt and Blaine came walking in the door not noticing Brittany sitting there "look who ive brought home with me, sorry we took so long that traffic is a god damn nightmare at this time" Kurt looked over to the sofa and saw Brittany looking at him "britt, what are you doing here, its great to see you" he ran over towards the sofa to give her a hug "hey Kurt, I just stopped by for a visit, hey Blaine warbler" Brittany waved over and Blaine came over to give her a hug too. "look guys I better be going I don't plan on staying long in the city I have important MIT business here tomorrow so once I get it over im flying back so I guess il see you guys around at some stage" They all said they're goodbyes and Brittany left.

The group finally sat down to dinner and talked about todays events, it had been pretty exhausting, all those emotions and feelings brought back to Santana, it wore her out but nothing was going to change, she loved Dani and she knew Dani loved her too, she just had to sit back, relax and let the mood take her. Who knows what tomorrow would bring for the two girls.
