So if anyone was expecting me to write Dani's parents in here, I'm really sorry. I'm just not comfortable doing that. I wasn't even comfortable giving her a last name because in a way, I want to stay true to her character on the show. Thank you guys for reading and especially reviewing. It means the world to me 3. Here's chapter 12, I don't own glee.
Santana Lopez crept softly into the bedroom and over to Dani who was still sleeping soundly. It was Dani's 22nd birthday so she had gotten up early to make the blue-haird girl some breakfast in bed.
"Happy Birthday Dan," she whispered in Dani's ear after placing the tray of food on the night stand.
Dani just groaned and buried her head under her pillow. "Mmm, I'm too tired to turn 22 right now San. Come back in two hours." she grumbled adorably.
Santana smirked. "Oh well, looks like I'll just have to eat this awesome breakfast in bed myself," she said dramatically. Dani lifted up the pillow and looked at her with one eye open.
"You made me breakfast? As in pancakes and bacon?" she questioned.
Santana smiled and nodded "And hash browns." Dani grinned.
"That was all I needed to hear," she said getting up and stretching.
"You're adorable," Santana says while handing Dani the plate. Dani immediately took a a huge bite.
"Oh my God, San, this is soo good." she exclaimed with her mouth full, making Santana blush a little.
"It's just your average pancakes and bacon," she said rubbing her head bashfully.
"And hash browns," Dani said smirking. She put the plate to the side and pulled Santana over to her. "Thank you for doing this babe, but I'm suddenly hungry for something else." she said in a sultry voice.
Before Santana could say anything, she was flipped onto the bed and Dani's lips were covering hers. At first she didn't know if they were just making or going all the way. But then Dani started moving her hands under Santana's shirt and she knew the answer. It wasn't long until both their shirts were off and Dani was trailing wet kisses down Santana's neck and to the space between her breasts. Santana let out a soft moan which only stirred her girlfriend on. Just as Dani was pulling down Santana's pajama pants, the phone rang.
"You've got to be kidding me." Santana muttered against Dani's lips. "Don't answer it."
"I've got to." she said between kisses. "It could be an emergency." She got off Santana and went to pick up her cell phone. "Hello?...Hi Mrs. Lopez...I'm sorry, Maribel." Santana's eyes widened, not expecting her mom to call her girlfriend. "Uh huh...totally...okay, I'll see you in a sec" she said and then hung up the phone.
"What did my mom want?" It wasn't that surprising that her mother called Dani. She met Santana's parents once a couple months ago and since then, Dani and her mother have become sorta friends.
"She wants to Skype. Put your shirt back on," she said and then ran to the living room to get her laptop. Santana groaned and threw her shirt back on.
"Even when they're not here, my parents still manage to cock-block me," she said when Dani came back into the bedroom.
"I'm pretty sure it's called something else when it's two women babe. And besides, it's just your mom this time." Dani said. She put her own shirt back on and went to the bathroom to quickly brush her teeth and fix her hair. When she came back, Santana was already talking to her mom, using a bunch of Spanish words Dani didn't understand.
"Feliz Cumpleaños!" Maribel Lopez greeted Dani when she saw her.
"Uhh, sí?" Dani said unsure of the older woman just said. She looked to Santana for confirmation, but she just laughed.
"She said 'Happy Birthday' babe", she chuckled, which made Dani slightly embarrassed.
"Oh..I knew that" she said.
"Santana, I thought we agreed that you would be teaching Dani Spanish. What's the hold up?" Maribel teased.
"It's not me mamá. She's only interested in learning the curse words." Santana defended. Then the two Latinas started talking more in Spanish. Dani, of course couldn't understand what they were saying, but the blush on Santana's face made her think it was something uncomfortable on her girlfriend's part. Not sure what to do, Dani continued eating the breakfast she had set aside before.
"So Dani, Santana tells me you're still trying to make it in the music industry?" Maribel questioned.
Dani nodded, "That's the plan. Right now I'm making a demo with my friend. We're going to send it out every record label in New York when it's done."
Maribel smiled, "That's wonderful dear, keep at it. The more rich and famous you are, the less amount of dinero I'll have to shell out for the wedding." Dani eyes widened and she nearly choked on the piece of bacon in her mouth. Maribel went on talking, oblivious to Dani's reaction. "Santana's father may be a doctor, but that doesn't mean we can afford the big wedding I've got planned-"
"Mom please!" Santana yelled, totally embarrassed. It was way too soon for her and Dani to be thinking about marriage.
"What? Did I say something wrong?" she asked innocently.
"Yes!" Santana whined. "Can we talk about something else now?"
"Fine, Fine. You two are no fun." she said
They spent the rest of the time talking about the different events going on in each other's lives. They talked about Dani's music, their new dogs, Pamela Lansbury, and the opening night of Funny Girl. Maribel told Santana about everything that's been happening in Lima, which included some funny stories about Santana's father and crazy cousins. Santana and Dani said their goodbye's with a promise to finally visit sometime around Easter.
"My mom is..something" Santana laughed lightly.
"Yeah she is." Dani said in a quiet voice. She had been in and out of deep thought since the second half of the conversation with Santana's mom.
"You okay? My mom didn't freak you out did she?" Santana asked, feeling bad if her mother made Dani feel uncomfortable. "Was it the marriage thing? Because I've told her a thousand times-"
Dani chuckled and cut her off with a kiss. "No, it has nothing to do with that. I love your mom" she said honestly. "It's just..."
"It's just what?" Santana asked, taking Dani's hands in hers.
"I'm jealous" she sighed. "Your parents are so accepting of who you are and they love you no matter what. My mom and dad would never in a million years, talk about gay marriage so openly." she sighed. "It just sucks knowing they hate me."
Santana's heart broke at that. They had only discussed Dani's parents once or twice before because it made the blue haired girl depressed. When Dani first came to New York, she was actually scared out of her mind and tried to reconnect with her parents after the first couple months. Unfortunately they refused to let her come home unless she gave up her "gay" ways and her dreams of being a musician.
"Your parents love you, Dan," Santana said trying to cheer the other girl up. She didn't want her girlfriend being sad, especially today.
Dani scoffed. "They have a funny way of showing it. I've been gone 4 years and they never called me once. Not on Thanksgiving, not Christmas, not even on my birthday." she said.
"Well yeah, that's pretty shitty of them." Santana agreed. "But I still don't think they hate you. They're just stubborn to change. It might take 5 days, 5 months, or even 5 years, but I'm sure they'll come around eventually. There's no way they would keep a daughter as amazing as you, out of their lives forever." she said with so much certainty that Dani couldn't help but believe her.
Dani smiled at that and gave Santana a kiss. "When did you get so smart?" she said, pulling away.
Santana chuckled. "That's just something my mami and papi kept telling me after my abuela kicked me out. I say it to myself every once and a while to keep from getting upset over it."
"See, this is what I'm talking about," Dani exclaimed, suddenly having a whole new appreciation for the Lopez's. "You're parents are so understanding and cool. You're really lucky, San." she said earnestly. Santana quirked an eyebrow.
"You're lucky too babe." Dani gave her a confused look so she continued. "You may not have your own parents, but you have mine. Didn't you hear my mom already trying to marry us off? She adores you." Dani thought about that for a second.
"Yeah I guess you're right" Dani said grinning.
"And you have Rachel, Kurt, and even Servant boy who love you too." she joked, earning a light slap to the arm by Dani for making fun of Butler. "But most importantly, you have me. And I promise, I'm not going anywhere." she ended sincerely.
Dani lept up and gave her a tight hug "You're amazing, you know that?" She loved that Santana could take any bad situation and turn it all around and make her smile.
"I try" she said and gave Dani a peck on the cheek. "Now come on. It's your birthday and I don't want you to be sad anymore. We can spend the day doing whatever you want." Dani thought for a second.
"I've always wanted to go to the Central Park Zoo. And maybe tonight, all of us can go out dancing?"
"Sound perfect babe." Santana agreed. Dani moved to get off the bed, but Santana pulled her back into her. "But first, I have to give you your first birthday present," she smirked.
Dani knew they were about to finish what they started earlier. "Happy Birthday to me then." she grinned and pushed Santana down on the bed.
Sorry if it wasn't what you were expecting, but I hope you enjoyed it. Review please!
